Review
'This book is a great read and I'll certainly keep it on my shelf. It put my mind at rest by quitting those niggling queries I had about contraception and helped me to be proactive about choosing a method for me.' Davina McCall, TV presenter 'This clear and practical book separates fact from fiction and is packed full of everything the reader needs to know. We can always trust FPA for good sense and information on contraception.' Deidre Sanders, Agony aunt for The Sun 'I'm so delighted that there is finally a comprehensive guide to contraception. Far too often, women spend more time choosing an outfit than choosing their method of contraception. It's important to know what's available so that you can make the right choice for you. That way you can ask for what you want rather than making do with what you're given.' Dr David Bull, TV doctor

Honest and informative.,
By
This review is from: Choose What You Use: The FPA Essential Guide to Contraception (Paperback)
This is an amazing book which really informs the reader on all of the facts required to make an informed choice about contraception. Refreshingly it does not resort to the poor cartoon imagery which is present is so many books of this genre. The layout is effective and easy to read with just the right amount of information presented in each section. Even if you are happy with your own choice of contraception this is an invaluable reference which may offer you an opportunity to reflect on your current method and consider its merits alongside those of other methods. As you would expect from the fpa no opinion is offered as to the rights and wrongs of any particular method, merely a reassurance that the right choice for you is simply that - your choice. This is an essential book for parents to have on their bookshelves, as teenagers - male and female - would certainly appreciate the honesty and information contained in it.

Book Review,
By
This review is from: Choose What You Use: The FPA Essential Guide to Contraception (Paperback)
I bought it as a resource for discussion with patients. It is clear and concise regarding contraception choices.
As a resource for a health professional, it is of limited value, as far as contraindications, interactions are concerned.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Broad and non bias,
This review is from: Choose What You Use: The FPA Essential Guide to Contraception (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone wishing to consider their contraceptive options and an interesting read for those that aren't. It clearly explains all the options that are currently available - including a few I had not heard of! The book is concise and to the point and includes some useful basic biology. It weighs up the pro and cons as well as dismissing commonly held myths at the same time.
Unlike other sources (including some health professionals), the book presents the options in a non bias way. For those who like myself, cannot use hormonal contraceptive methods, it provides information on all the alternatives, along with the practical details of what's involved. Generally a great book and a definite must have for anyone trying to find a method or methods that work for them.
