Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus, available in hormonal (e.g., Mirena) and copper (e.g., Paragard) options, providing protection for several years.

Implants: A small rod placed under the skin of the arm that releases hormones for up to three years.

Barrier Methods:

Condoms: Male and female condoms provide a barrier to prevent sperm from reaching the egg and also protect against STIs.

Fertility Awareness: Tracking ovulation and menstrual cycles to avoid intercourse during fertile periods.

Emergency Contraception:

Pills: Options like Plan B or Ella can be taken after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy.

Copper IUD: Can also be used as emergency contraception when inserted within five days after unprotected sex.

Each method has its benefits and potential side effects. We encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss your individual needs and preferences to find the best birth control option for you.
