Really, really, really, really good.

It's just been listed on the PBS.

So before it was around like more than $70 or something for three months, which is just so much money.

But now it's $25.

Wow, for three months.

For three months, which is so good.

So that can be a really good option for people.

The other method that people try sometimes is a contraceptive implant or implanon.

So it's the small rod that gets inserted into your upper arm, under the skin in your upper arm.

You can feel it if you get one.

It kind of looks like a matchstick.

Yeah, actually, now that you've said that, I remember a few older girls in school.

Yes, same, having them and letting everyone feel them, yes.

So that's another option, lasts for three years, super effective at preventing pregnancy.

It has similar hormones to an IUD, so it's different to the pill.

So it's a good option if you can't tolerate the pill or the NuvaRing.

It can cause, I think the main side effect or the main reason people don't love it is its impact on bleeding.

It can just make your bleeding, what's the word, like unpredictable, I suppose.

Like you might not quite know when your next period might be or if you'll be spotting for how long and that sort of stuff.

And then less used methods that are available are the contraceptive injection.
