Doctor: Hi sophie my name is Doctor Laurence how can i help you today?
Sophie: Hello doctor Laurence, me and my partner were talking about wehat the best family planning option would be for us what do you recommend?
doctor: well sophie answer these questions for me first, how old are you? how long have you been with your partner? how long have you been sexually ative with your partner? and how old is your partner?
sophie: I am 22 years old, I have been with my partner for 8 months now, sexually active for 7 and he is 24
doctor: okay well seeing as you both in your mid twenties and you’ve been sexually active with him for quite a few months now i would recommend the mini pill
sophie: what exactly is the mini pill?
doctor: the mini pill makes the fluid at the opening of the womb thicker so it stops the sperm from getting through, it will stop you from menstruation every month and it has a 99.7% effectiveness if you take it at the same time everyday but it will drop to 91% if you take it late
sophie: does it also protect me from STI’s
doctor: no unfortunately it will not prevent sexually transmitted diseases, if you feel that this is the right option for you and your partner i will sign your prescription today
sophie: honestly i think this will be the best option for myself and my partner because we are defiantly not ready for a child
doctor: okay here you go you can go to the chemist across the road thankyou and i hope i was helpful
sophie: okay thankyou for you help Dr Laurence
