“…2 One new cross-sectional Australian study found that within the past 10 years, 26% of pregnancies were unintended, and 30% of these ended in abortions. 3 Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) includes three main methods: copper and progestogen intrauterine devices (IUDs), administered once every 10 and five years respectively; progestogen subdermal implants, administered every three years; and progestogen injections, administered three-monthly. 4 Implants and IUDs are over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy, while progestogen injections are 94-99.8% effective depending on the user.…”
