Brief Answer:
CONDOMS, COPPER T OR TODAY CAN BE USED.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Actually with a family history of breast cancer, oral contraceptive pills are best avoided.
Would condoms not suit you, as they are safest ?
If not, you can opt for the Today intravaginal sponge, which is effective.
The Copper T IUCD ( intra uterine contraceptive device ) is also an excellent non hormonal option .
You can choose from these 3 options according to your preference.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
