Previous research has suggested that the use of hormonal contraception affects women’s feelings of relationship jealousy. Combined oral contraceptive use, in partnered women, has been linked to an increase in reported feelings of relationship jealousy, especially among women using a high-estrogen dose pill formulation. While the pill is one of the most widely used forms of hormonal contraception, many health care professionals now encourage young women to use progesterone-only contraceptives. This study compares reported relationship jealousy in women using the pill and women using long lasting, progesterone-only contraceptives using Buunk’s (1997) relationship jealousy scale.
