Contraception Options
From pills to IUDs and implants, there are many contraception options — each with different pros and considerations. Here's an overview to help you start the conversation.
Many options — the best one is personal
Long-acting methods are among the most effective
Counselling helps you choose with confidence
IUD and implant offered on-site
There's no single best contraception — only what's best for you, your health, and your stage of life. Our physicians offer contraception counselling to help you understand the options and choose one that fits, in a comfortable and confidential setting.
The main types
Options generally fall into a few groups: long-acting reversible methods like IUDs and the contraceptive implant (Nexplanon), which last years and need little upkeep; hormonal methods like the pill, patch, or ring; and barrier methods. Each differs in how it's used, how long it lasts, and its characteristics.
What to consider
Choosing is about more than effectiveness — it includes your health history, whether you'd prefer something you don't have to think about daily, effects on your periods, and your future plans. A counselling visit lets you weigh these with a physician rather than guessing.
At iCollab
