This book has become established as the primary source of information about reversible methods of contraception. It represents a dialogue between general practitioner and reproductive health specialist and builds up information in a question-and-answer format. This enables the book to focus on giving practical guidance to a busy clinician when faced with a patient who wants help choosing and using their best means of controlling their own fertility. Most chapters conclude with questions asked by patients, which can be demanding for the unprepared.

Contraception: Your Questions Answered is the established primary source of information about reversible methods of contraception. Presented in an informal - and yet highly informative - question-and-answer style, it represents a dialogue between general practitioner (asking the questions) and reproductive health specialist (providing the answers). The main aim of the book is to give practical guidance to busy clinicians when they are faced with patients who want help with choosing the best means of controlling fertility. Most chapters conclude with questions frequently asked by patients - the answers to which can be very difficult for the unprepared and busy clinician to improvise 'on the spot' in the surgery. Written by contraception expert Professor John Guillebaud, this book is an invaluable resource for GPs, family planning doctors and nurses, trainee and consultant gynaecologists, medical students and the interested general reader.

From reviews of the previous edition: ‘Bought this one as an update to the older version I have. The Q&amp;A format is so easy to use. You could just read it but it is even better as a problem solving tool- anyone who provides contraceptive services should have a copy.’ ‘I'm a GP trainee doing obstetrics and gynaecology rotation and this book is invaluable in providing me with answers to common and not so common questions that patients come in with. Very happy with this purchase.’ ‘The bible for all medical practitioners regarding contraception. Very easy to use and find what you want.’ ‘Perfect book to have at hand for either quick revision or brief check when working in family planning. Easy to read with good explanations that can be memorised with very little effort.’ ‘Very well-known book from the guru of contraception! A must-have guide for the tricky subject of contraception for GPs.’ ‘I have owned previous editions of this book, which continues to be an excellent resource. Clearly written and eminently readable, I would recommend this to all (not just Doctors).’ ‘Perfect book to have at hand for either quick revision or brief check when working in family planning. Easy to read with good explanations that can be memorised with very little effort.’ ‘Bought this book whilst doing a family planning course and now, in practice, it has become my bible. Full of information, easy to understand, clear and concise. Helps with problem-solving and also contains relevant physiology. Recommended for GPs, nurse practitioners, midwives, school nurses and anyone with an interest in family planning.’

This seventh edition has been completely revised and updated, incorporating relevant WHO and national guidance documents: therefore imparting best evidence-based practice for all methods. <ul>
<li>Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) Based on the long-established evidence that 7 days of routinely not-taking pills in each cycle is too long for maintained ovarian suppression - and this necessarily leads to too little margin for errors in pill-taking - the authors recommend that providers switch to a new norm for all users of either:</li> <ul>
<li>Tricycling, the 84/4 regimen, or totally continuous use (365/365), </li> <li>OR, for women who remain keen to see monthly pill-bleeds (which are completely unnecessary for health), one of the regimens (24/4 or 21/4) that shorten the contraception-non-taking time to 4 days</li> </ul>
<li>New methods, and their importance or otherwise:</li> <ul>
<li>Intrauterine system: Jaydess® </li> <li>Subcutaneous, self-injectable alternative to Depo-Provera: Sayana® Press</li> <li>24/4 combined hormonal contraceptives: Zoely®, Eloine®

<li>Updates</li> <ul>
<li>Quick starting and bridging (the Proving not Pregnant Protocol)</li> <li>Emergency contraception (EC), how advice differs for ulipristal acetate EC</li> <li>Drug metabolism (implications with norethisterone) and interactions (eg affecting lamotrigine)</li> </ul>
