Services under Family Planning:

Barrier methods: Condoms, diaphragms, sponge, cervical cap — Birth control you use each time you have sex.
Contraceptive implant: The contraceptive implant is a small flexible tube that is inserted into the skin of the upper arm. This family of contraceptives works much like oral contraceptives, without the bother of having to remember to take a pill every day. These contraception methods do not protect against sexually transmitted disease.
Emergency contraception: commonly referred to as “the morning after pill” (a somewhat misleading expression because it can be effective for up to 72 hours after sex), this contraception method consists of several tablets that work by giving the body a strong, short burst of synthetic hormones that disrupt the hormone patterns needed for pregnancy.
Permanent birth controla nonsurgical procedure that creates a natural barrier to pregnancy, providing an option for women who are finished having children.
Oral contraception: Birth control pills which prevent pregnancy by interfering with ovulation. They are considered to be 99% effective when taken as directed.
Intrauterine device (IUD): Think an IUD might be right for you? Our OB-GYNs and certified nurse midwives are here to help. They’re experts in women’s health and are dedicated to promoting your overall well-being and reproductive health.
Natural rhythm methods: Not using a type of birth control but instead avoiding sex and/or using birth control only on the days when you are most fertile (most likely to get pregnant). An ovulation home test kit or a fertility monitor can help you find your most fertile days.
