Steph & Laura · An explainer on different contraception - with Dr Jacqueline Coombe · 16 Jun 2026 podcast

And so you might get put on a different type to something else.

But I think a really important thing to remember is if you're on the pill and you don't like it but you like –

the idea of a pill, you can go to your GP and say, hey, this one's not working for me.

Could I try a different type?

And there's lots of different ones you can try.

Yeah.

Look, there's nothing specific that jumps to mind.

I think it's more for me when I see something that's

fear-mongering or that's positioned in a way that's like, well, this was my experience and that will therefore be your experience.

Whereas women's bodies are different.

Everyone's body is different.

Your experience of side effects of a specific contraception will be different to my experience of that side effect.

And even my life is different to your life.

So what I'm willing to tolerate is different to yours.

And so sometimes it feels a bit, and this comes up for me a lot with IUDs, it's like, well, my experience was really bad and so therefore yours will be too.

And it's kind of treated like law when that's not necessarily the case.

And so I think listening to other women's experiences is so important and there's so much space for us to be able to share women's experiences about their different contraceptive methods more.

I think that's really important.

But also keeping in mind that, yeah, that experience is not necessarily reflective of yours necessarily.

In the same way that birth is kind of different.
