Family Planning & Birth Control
Your reproductive choices are yours to make. We're here to help you explore all your options.
Contraceptive Options
Choosing the right birth control method is a personal decision that depends on your health, lifestyle, and reproductive goals. Our providers take time to discuss all available options so you can make an informed choice that works for you.
We offer counseling and access to a comprehensive range of contraceptive methods, including:
- Hormonal methods: Birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings, and injections
- Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC): IUDs (hormonal and copper) and implants
- Barrier methods: Diaphragms and cervical caps
- Permanent options: Tubal ligation counseling and referral
- Emergency contraception: Plan B and other options
- Natural family planning: Fertility awareness-based methods
IUD and Implant Placement
Our office provides in-office IUD and implant placement and removal. These long-acting methods are among the most effective forms of birth control and require minimal maintenance once placed.
Your provider will discuss what to expect during the procedure, potential side effects, and how to know if a LARC method is right for you.
Preconception Counseling
When you're ready to start or grow your family, our preconception counseling services help prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy. We'll review your medical history, medications, and lifestyle factors, and recommend any necessary screenings or supplements to optimize your health before conception.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which birth control method is best for me?
The best method depends on your health history, lifestyle, how often you want to think about contraception, and your future pregnancy plans. During your visit, we'll discuss all options and help you find the one that fits your needs.
Does getting an IUD hurt?
Most patients experience some cramping during IUD insertion, which typically lasts only a few minutes. We can discuss pain management options before your appointment. Many patients find the brief discomfort well worth the years of worry-free contraception.
Can I switch birth control methods?
Absolutely. If your current method isn't working for you — whether due to side effects, lifestyle changes, or other reasons — we can help you transition to a different option at any time.
