Do you use that to plan?

By Diana Patricia Calixto Morales

This educational, clinical, and narrative book is aimed at adolescents, young adults, families, students, and healthcare professionals. Its purpose is to transform family planning into a process of informed decision-making, going beyond the simple choice of a contraceptive method. The book integrates the fundamentals of pharmacology, nursing care, health education, sexual and reproductive rights, therapeutic communication, and life planning. Through the "before, during, and after" model, readers learn what to consider before choosing a method, what they may experience while using it, and how to evaluate whether to continue, change, or discontinue it. The book addresses barrier methods, hormonal contraception, IUDs, implants, natural methods, and emergency contraception, incorporating myths, narrative case studies, indicators for consultation, and practical guidance. Its approach recognizes that every reproductive decision is influenced by the body, emotions, social context, autonomy, and future expectations. Rather than imposing single, definitive answers, this book seeks to provide support, clarify doubts, and strengthen decisions and actions related to self-care and healthy lifestyles.
