Components of Family Planning Education:

• Contraceptive Options: Learn about a wide range of contraceptive methods, including hormonal methods (such as birth control pills, patches, injections, and implants), barrier methods (such as condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps), long-acting reversible contraception (LARC, such as IUDs and implants), non-hormonal methods (such as copper IUDs and fertility awareness methods), and emergency contraception.
• Fertility Awareness: Understand fertility signs, menstrual cycle tracking, ovulation prediction, and natural family planning methods to identify fertile days, optimize conception timing, and prevent unintended pregnancies.
• Preconception Care: Explore preconception health recommendations, lifestyle factors (such as nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, and alcohol consumption), genetic counseling, and medical assessments to prepare for a healthy pregnancy and baby.
• Pregnancy Prevention: Receive guidance on effective pregnancy prevention strategies, contraceptive use, adherence, follow-up care, and options for emergency contraception when needed.
• Healthy Relationships: Learn about communication skills, relationship dynamics, consent, respect, intimacy, and shared decision-making to foster healthy and supportive relationships.
