Contrary to Conception

"With support, we can navigate contraception together. With reflection, we can initiate ownership and familiarity with our bodies."

Contraception is often a difficult topic to discuss, and yet it is a major part of life for many. Many people must learn about contraception by either asking friends what they use or consulting random internet articles. But how can we feel confident about our decisions for reproductive health in the absence of reliable sources?


Contrary to Conception, by Madeline V. Pasimio, DDS, helps to bring contraceptive information to the forefront by exploring stories of people using contraception, debunking fearful myths, and discussing the clouded understanding about contraception, from its historical beginnings to its biological processes. In this book, you will learn how different contraceptive drugs and devices affect a wide range of people. If you have questions about your current contraception experience, are motivated to help another in their contraception decision, or have an interest in how today's reproductive rights landscape emerged, then Contrary to Conception belongs on your bookshelf.
