For a 21-year-old female planning to have children soon, which contraceptive option is contraindicated?

Injected contraception, particularly progestin-only injectables like Depo-Provera, may be considered less ideal for a young woman planning to conceive in the near future. This is because the effects of injected contraceptives can last for several months after the last injection, potentially leading to a delay in returning to fertility. In contrast, other options like the Xulane patch, oral contraceptives, and the contraceptive ring provide a more immediate return to fertility once they are discontinued.

For a young woman actively planning for pregnancy, choosing a method that allows for prompt return to normal ovulatory function is generally advised. Therefore, while injected contraceptives are effective for pregnancy prevention, they may not align well with the individual's plans to conceive soon.
