A 32-year-old woman attends a GP appointment, asking for advice regarding contraception

A 32-year-old woman attends a GP appointment, asking for advice regarding contraception. She is married to a male partner, and recently gave birth to twins by this partner. The twins are six-months old, and she does not wish to have any further children, and as such is interested in starting a long-term form of contraception. Prior to becoming pregnant, she had tried the combined oral contraceptive pill and progesterone-only pill, but experienced unpleasant side effects with both, and is reluctant to try them again. She is currently breastfeeding.

For the patient above, please select the option which represents the SINGLE most suitable contraceptive choice for the case described. Select ONE option from the list above.
