There are two types of LARC in Aotearoa New Zealand:

the intra uterine device (IUD) that lasts for five to ten years

They are sometimes called “fit and forget” contraception because you don’t need to remember it every day or every month.

LARCs are the most effective types of contraception. They are more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Hormonal contraceptives include the pill and the Depo Provera injection.

There are two types of pill:

combined oral contraceptive pill
progestogen-only contraceptive pill
You take one pill each day. The pill is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy if you take it correctly. 

The Depo Provera injection is another type of hormonal contraception. You get an injection every three months. If you get your injections on time, Depo Provera is more than 99% effective.
