What is the best birth control method for me?
Every woman has a different focus when choosing birth control. Some want long-term contraceptives, while others know they want to get pregnant sooner rather than later. The experienced team at Garden OB/GYN offers many contraceptive choices and takes the time to answer your questions and help you choose the birth control method that’s best for you.
When you come to Garden OB/GYN for birth control, you have access to the full range of contraceptives. Your doctor at Cedarhurst reviews your medical history and performs a pelvic exam to be sure you don’t have any health concerns that would influence your choice of birth control. Your doctor takes time to talk with you about your options so you can make the best decision for your lifestyle.
It’s important to know that birth control pills and patches are more effective when they’re consistently used. For example, birth control pills are more effective than indicated on this list when the pill is taken every day at the same time.
The hormones in contraceptives cause changes in your body that ensure you don’t get pregnant. Depending on the hormones in the birth control method you use, they may stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, or change the uterine lining.
LARCs are inserted once and stay in place a long time, continuously preventing pregnancy for years without worrying about taking pills or replacing rings or patches. With a LARC, you get birth control that’s just as effective as a tubal ligation, but you can still get pregnant any time. You only need to ask your doctor at Garden OB/GYN to remove the device.
When you need birth control, the team at Garden OB/GYN gives you the information you need to make the choice that’s best for you. To schedule an appointment, use the online booking feature or call one of their nine offices.
