Dr Emma Nash

  Abstract

Progestogen-only contraception refers to the methods of contraception that contain a synthetic form of progesterone. In 2005/2006, 10% of all women aged 16–49 in the UK were using progestogen-only contraception. Such contraceptive methods include the progestogen-only contraceptive pill, injectable forms, the subdermal implant and the Mirena intrauterine system (IUS). In addition, emergency contraception in the form of Levonelle 1500 is progestogen only.
