Our Contraception Options Include:

1. Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs):

   • Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Small, T-shaped devices placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are available in hormonal and non-hormonal (copper) options and can provide effective contraception for several years.
   • Implants: Small, flexible rods inserted under the skin of the upper arm that release hormones to prevent pregnancy. Implants provide long-term contraception and are highly effective.

2. Hormonal Methods:

   • Birth Control Pills: Oral contraceptives that contain hormones (estrogen and progestin) to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
   • Contraceptive Patch: A thin, adhesive patch worn on the skin that releases hormones similar to birth control pills.
   • Vaginal Ring: A small, flexible ring inserted into the vagina that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy.

3. Barrier Methods:

   • Male and Female Condoms: Physical barriers that prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
   • Diaphragm and Cervical Cap: Silicone or latex devices inserted into the vagina to cover the cervix and prevent sperm from entering.

4. Natural Family Planning: Methods that involve tracking your menstrual cycle and avoiding unprotected intercourse during fertile times.
