World Contraception Day

What is World Contraception Day?
Founded in 2007, World Contraception Day takes place on the 26th of September every year. The global campaign raises awareness of birth control and pushes for better education when it comes to sexual and reproductive health.

You change, so can your birth control
If you’ve changed birth control twice or more, you’re not alone. We asked more than 4000 Natural Cycles users about their contraceptive experiences. 86% told us that they’d changed methods at least two times.
The reasons for this are complex, but birth control side effects definitely play a part, as 76% said they switched due to unwanted side effects. While less than 50% did so without their partner’s involvement, raising the question, how much do we actually share the responsibility of birth control?
