Family Planning & Sterilization

We offer many different options for family planning and options for sterilization. 

Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

IUD’s offer a very cost effective, long-term, solution but are still reversible. We place Liletta and Skyla contraception devices. Depending on the type, they provide excellent birth control for 3-7 years. Ask one of our providers which is right for you.

NuvaRing

This contraceptive vaginal ring provides birth control that is similar to oral contraception.

 Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation (Permanent Sterilization)

Laparoscopy involves inserting a viewing instrument and surgical tools through very small incisions in the abdomen. This minimally-invasive procedure is safer than traditional tubals and allows for faster recovery. It is also meant to be a permanent solution. Although it may be reversed our, office does not offer tubal reversals. 

Oral Contraceptives

The pill is an oral contraceptive that uses hormones to prevent pregnancy. The pill must be taken at the same time every day to be effective, and pregnancy can still occur right after you stop taking the pill.

Nexplanon Implants

Birth control implants are devices that are inserted under the skin. Nexplanon implants are plastic rods about the size of a matchstick. The rod contains a form of the hormone progesterone which is released to prevent pregnancy. They are effective for 3 years.

 Depo-Provera Injections

Another birth control method for women, Depo-Provera, is made up of a hormone similar to progesterone and is injected into a woman’s arm or buttock. Each shot is required 4 times a year to maintain birth control
