A 36-year-old woman presents to the GP seeking advice on how to prevent pregnancy with her boyfriend. They have been using barrier contraception thus far; however, she explains this is proving too difficult for them to sustain. She would like to be given a different form of contraception. She has a past medical history of unilateral ductal carcinoma of the breast and is currently being treated for iron deficiency anaemia. 

Please prescribe one form of contraception that would be appropriate for this woman.
