Who is this website for?

This website is for people with breast cancer who want to prevent pregnancy. It may be especially helpful for people with early-onset breast cancer (EOBC). The information on this website applies broadly to most breast cancers unless otherwise noted. But everyone’s situation is unique, and birth control decisions are personal. The best option for you may be different from what is best for someone else.

Our Goal

Our goal is simple: to provide clear, trustworthy information to help you make informed birth control decisions after a breast cancer diagnosis. We know this can feel overwhelming. There are many birth control options, and often many opinions about what is “best” or “safe.” We hope this website helps you feel informed, supported, and more prepared to talk with your oncologist, cancer team, and birth control provider.

Personal Stories

Making decisions about birth control in the context of breast cancer can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
