Abstract
With the goal of helping clinicians facilitate contraceptive success for their patients, this Clinical Opinion provides an update regarding older hormonal and intrauterine contraceptives and details newer methods that include the progestin-releasing intrauterine system, the contraceptive patch and ring, and extended and emergency oral contraception. Last, I will look over the horizon and briefly describe potential future methods that include the single rod progestin-releasing implant, folic acid-supplemented oral contraceptives, and hormonal contraception for men.
