the beginning of sexual activity during adolescence may expose this population to some risks such as the occurrence of unplanned pregnancy. Several studies show that, despite the increased use of contraceptive methods (CMs), pregnancy remains high among adolescents. Objective: to analyze the use of CMs by adolescents who became pregnant during this period of life. Method: This is a case-control study conducted with 86 pregnant adolescents (cases) and 86 young women without a history of pregnancy in adolescence (controls) in Family Health Strategy (Estratégia Saúde da Familia) units in Cuiabá-MT, from August to November 2016. Results: the data revealed that the adolescents used CMs on their first sexual intercourse (67.4%), but there was a considerable decrease in use when specifically investigating their use in the month they became pregnancy (37.2%). It was noted that the use of CMs is lower among the adolescents compared to the young women without a history of pregnancy in adolescence. Contraceptive discontinuations were also verified among the study participants. Conclusion: the findings revealed that the adolescents use fewer contraceptive methods compared to young women since the beginning of their sexual life. In addition, the use is permeated by discontinuations, highlighting the failures in the use of CMs. This fact indicates the need to increase care and contraceptive options for this population
