Birth Control Options
We offer guidance on a variety of birth control methods so patients can choose the option that works best for them.
Hormonal Contraception
Options such as birth control pills, injections, implants, patches, and vaginal rings help prevent pregnancy by regulating hormones.
Barrier Methods
Condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps act as physical barriers to prevent pregnancy. Condoms also provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraceptive pills and copper IUDs may be used after unprotected intercourse or when regular birth control fails.
Fertility Awareness Methods
This approach involves tracking menstrual cycles and ovulation patterns to better understand fertility and manage pregnancy planning.
Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC)
Subdermal implants are one of the most effective and low-maintenance forms of birth control available today. This small, flexible rod—roughly the size of a matchstick—is inserted just under the skin of the upper arm, where it consistently releases hormones to prevent pregnancy for up to three years.
Hormonal IUDs (like Mirena IUD) release progestin to lighten or stop periods, while copper IUDs (like Paragard IUD) use copper to prevent pregnancy without hormones. Both are highly effective, long-lasting birth control methods, but hormonal IUDs often reduce bleeding, whereas copper IUDs may make periods heavier.

Permanent Contraception
Long-term options such as vasectomy or tubal ligation may be considered for individuals who are certain they do not want future pregnancies.
