A birth control shot is a convenient, low-maintenance option — just 1 injection every 3 months
But like some other methods, it has trade-offs: irregular bleeding, weight changes, and possible delay in fertility after stopping.

The pill isn’t just about avoiding pregnancy.
It also helps with irregular periods, painful cramps, acne, & PCOS symptoms — conditions many South Asian women face.

The IUD — or intrauterine device — is a tiny, T-shaped device that sits in your uterus and prevents pregnancy for years. 💫
Copper IUDs release ions that stop sperm movement, while hormonal ones thicken cervical mucus and thin the uterine lining.
