Contraceptive Options We Offer

We understand that every individual has different needs and preferences, which is why we offer a variety of birth control methods. Our healthcare team will help you choose the option that’s best suited for your health, lifestyle, and future goals. Here are the family planning methods we provide:

Hormonal Methods
Hormonal methods adjust hormone levels in the body to prevent pregnancy. Common options include:

• Birth Control Pills: Taken daily, birth control pills regulate your menstrual cycle and prevent pregnancy.
• Contraceptive Implants: Small devices inserted under the skin that release hormones for long-term birth control (up to 3 years).
• Injections: Hormonal injections given every 3 months to prevent pregnancy.
• Patches and Vaginal Rings: These release hormones and are worn on the skin or inserted into the vagina to prevent pregnancy.

Hormonal methods are highly effective and convenient for many individuals. We’ll help you determine which method is best for your needs.

Barrier Methods
Barrier methods physically block sperm from reaching the egg. These include:

• Condoms: A popular and effective method that also helps protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• Diaphragms and Cervical Caps: Placed inside the vagina before intercourse to prevent sperm from entering the uterus.

Barrier methods are non-hormonal and offer additional protection against STIs.

Emergency Contraception
In cases where regular birth control fails or unprotected sex occurs, emergency contraception can be used as a backup. Available options include:

• Copper IUDs: Can be inserted within 5 days after unprotected intercourse to help prevent pregnancy.
• Emergency Contraceptive Pills: Taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex to provide an additional layer of protection.

Emergency contraception is an effective way to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.

Natural Methods
Natural family planning involves tracking your fertility cycle to either prevent or plan pregnancies. This includes:

• Fertility Awareness Methods (FAM): By tracking your menstrual cycle and identifying fertile days, you can either use barrier methods or avoid intercourse during fertile days to prevent pregnancy.

Natural methods do not involve hormones but require careful tracking and consistency. Our team is here to guide and support you as you learn these methods.

Permanent Methods
If you’re certain you don’t want more children, permanent birth control options might be right for you. These include:

• Vasectomy: A surgical procedure for men that cuts or seals the tubes carrying sperm.
• Tubal Ligation: A surgical procedure for women that blocks or cuts the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy.

These methods are highly effective but should be considered only after consultation with medical professionals.
