Birth Control Resources

Understanding your birth control options is essential for making informed decisions about your reproductive health. Below, we provide detailed information about four popular types of birth control: oral birth control pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), Nexplanon implants, and birth control patches, rings, and shots. Explore these options to find the one that best suits your lifestyle and needs.

• Oral birth control pills

  Oral birth control pills are a form of contraception taken daily by mouth, containing hormones that prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation.

  Regular yearly appointments are required for prescription refills. It's crucial to take these pills at the same time each day consistently to maximize their contraceptive benefits.

• IntraUterine Devices (IUD)

  An IUD, or intrauterine device, is a small, T-shaped contraceptive device placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUD are good for 5-10 years depending on which type is used.

  There are various types of IUDs available, each recommended based on factors like a patient's health, reproductive history, and preferences. Our clinic offers a range of options so that patients can choose the IUD that best suits their individual needs as recommended by their doctor.

• Nexplanon

  Nexplanon is a small, flexible rod about the size of a matchstick that is implanted under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a hormone called etonogestrel to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and thickening cervical mucus.

  This contraceptive method is highly effective and can last for up to three years, providing a convenient long-term option for birth control.

• Patches and Rings

  Birth control patches are adhesive patches worn on the skin that release hormones similar to those in birth control pills, providing contraception through absorption into the bloodstream.

  Birth control rings, like the NuvaRing, are flexible plastic rings inserted into the vagina that release hormones to prevent pregnancy, typically left in place for three weeks. Birth control shots, such as Depo-Provera, are injections administered every three months to provide hormonal contraception, offering a convenient option for those who prefer less frequent dosing.
