Brief Answer:
Copper T

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Temporary birth control methods could be oral tablets, injectible or implants. These contains small amount of hormonal preparation.

2) The other option is to go for Intra uterine devices ( IUD ) like copper T. These are the best for you as no need to take pills or to bear side effects of tablets.

3) Copper T is safe and one time solution and no hormonal side effects. Its the best for you.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Brief Answer:
Copper T

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are many brands available. You can opt for copper T 380 A is supplied free of cost by government and is of excellent quality. You can opt for the same. Other brands like lippes loop are outdated and not needed.

Based on my experience I suggest you plan for pregnancy now as this is right age for pregnancy. Delaying the pregnancy could mean the chance of infertility in future due to various factors. Think about it.

For birth control Copper T is the best.

Regards
