In this Mini Motivation episode, host Amelia Phillips is joined by women’s health GP Dr Ginni Mansberg to unpack one of the most confusing topics in perimenopause: contraception.

If you’ve finished having babies and are heading into your 40s or 50s, you might be wondering whether you still need contraception, which option is best, and whether your current contraception could actually be affecting your perimenopause symptoms.

From the pill and Mirena to implants and non-hormonal options, Dr Ginni explains how to choose the right contraception for this stage of life. We explore whether hormonal contraception can mask the signs of perimenopause, which options might help manage heavy periods, hot flushes and mood changes, and when HRT might be a better choice.

Plus, we tackle the big question: When can you safely stop using contraception, especially if your periods have disappeared?

A practical, reassuring conversation to help you make informed decisions about contraception during perimenopause.
