Abstract

Over the past decade, contraception options in the United States have expanded to include an over-the-counter progestin-only pill, a drospirenone progestin-only pill, a vaginal acidifying gel, a low-dose contraceptive patch, and a new vaginal contraceptive ring. Clinical evidence supports expanding the duration of use of the 52 mg progestin intrauterine device (IUD) and the copper IUD. Contraception counseling should center patient priorities and preferences rather than promoting methods based on the provider's beliefs. To employ a reproductive justice lens when counseling patients about their contraception options, providers should remain up to date on all available methods.
