These methods are very effective and help to prevent unplanned pregnancies, but still the use of these methods is very low in UK. The main reason that women gave, in a survey of 55, they are anxious about the weight-gain that may cause due to these methods, which is only a myth. There were also many other misconceptions that prevented many women from taking these long-acting hormonal contraception.
According to the survey that was published in the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care, many of them discarded the implants and coils just because they didn’t want the examinations or insidious methods. A few chose to take the birth control pills for the only reason that their friends or some relatives were using these pills.
Other research undertaken by the Department of Health (DH) along with the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence and the Scottish Government revealed that many women are also scared that these (LARC) long-acting reversible contraceptives may affect their fertility.
