Birth Control Quiz

Pregnancy and birth control may seem pretty straightforward, but there’s a lot of misinformation out there that can make it hard to know what’s fact and what’s fiction. Take this quiz to see how much you know about pregnancy.

Note: In this quiz we use the terms vagina, vulva, uterus and penis. We recognize and respect the fact that some people use different terms to describe these parts of their body. If you visit Planned Parenthood Toronto's clinic or talk to Teen Health Source volunteers, please let us know which terms you are most comfortable with.
