Which One is Right for You?

Good news: there’s no “one-size-fits-all” in contraception. Everyone’s body, lifestyle, and preferences are different. The best birth control is the one you’ll actually use—and we’re here to help you figure that out.

Let’s talk birth control! Whether you're looking to prevent pregnancy, regulate your cycle, or just enjoy a little peace of mind, contraception is your best friend. And the best part? You’ve got OPTIONS.

Birth Control Options

  1. The IUD (Intrauterine Device) – A tiny T-shaped wonder that hangs out in your uterus and keeps sperm from crashing the party. Long-lasting, low-maintenance, and more effective than your favorite excuse for skipping the gym.

  2. The Implant – A small rod inserted in your arm that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. Think of it as an undercover bodyguard for your uterus.

  3. The Pill – The classic daily dose of hormones to keep ovulation in check. Set a reminder, or get a pill pack that nags you—either way, consistency is key!

  4. The Patch – Stick it, forget it (for a week), and let it do its thing. It’s like the pill, but for those of us who can’t commit to a daily task (no judgment!).

  5. The Ring – A flexible little ring that chills inside and releases hormones. Change it once a month, and you’re golden.

  6. The Shot – One jab every three months, and you’re covered. Perfect for those who hate taking daily meds but don’t mind the occasional poke.

  7. Barrier Methods – Condoms (internal & external), diaphragms, and cervical caps—because sometimes, keeping it physical (barrier-wise) is the way to go!

  8. Natural Family Planning – Tracking your cycle, checking cervical mucus, and making friends with ovulation predictor kits. Not for the faint of heart, but hey, knowledge is power!

  9. Permanent Options – Tubal ligation or vasectomy for those who are super sure they’re done with the baby-making business.

Have questions? Need a prescription? Want to chat about your options? We’ve got you. Book an appointment, and let’s get you sorted!

*A note on our use of the word “Women”: This clinic is for ALL people of any gender and any body type. The use of the title “Women’s Clinic” is a nod to the specific needs of those assigned female at birth, who midwives traditionally serve, and the fact that their health care is systemically under-funded and under-valued. This is also (especially) true for transgender and nonbinary people. We acknowledge and celebrate that ALL people deserve sexual health care regardless of gender, sex, or sexual orientation (including those who are asexual). We are  limited by the English language to fully encompass all those that we serve. We thank you for your understanding!
