from 9.20 am Family Planning
I've had three children and don't want any more - is the ' Pill the right contraceptive for me to use for the next 20 years? Can a woman of 45 become pregnant? I'd like to talk to my teenage son about contraceptives but I don't know where to start.
People are taking a greater interest than ever before in family planning and discussing the pros and cons of limiting their families. But there is still a great deal of ignorance about contraceptive methods, the advantages and disadvantages of the 'Pill' and how to help young people learn about family planning.
Dr Michael Smith of the Family Planning Association and Dr Faith Spicer of the London Youth Advisory Centre will be in the studio to answer questions on all aspects of family planning.
In the Chair Sue MacGregor
