Birth Control Options to Consider

Fortunately, there are several different options available regarding female contraception. During your first birth control counseling session, Dr. White-Videa and her friendly staff will review each method, highlighting its benefits and possible shortcomings.

Barrier methods like diaphragms and condoms
These are among the most well-known methods that are effective in preventing sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.

Birth control patches
These are usually worn for no more than three weeks then women take a week-long break from them. Patches usually work like other well-known hormone solutions that prevent the egg from being released.

Injection contraceptives
Specific injection types use progestin, providing 99% prevention. They are typically given every three months.

Natural family planning
These methods include better understanding your fertility cycle, spermicides, and abstinence.

Implants
These methods use hormones and allow protection from unwanted pregnancy for up to several years.

IUDs or intrauterine devices
IUDs are small devices inserted into the vagina that last several years and are highly effective without using hormones.

Vaginal rings
These are soft, plastic rings with time-release estrogen and progestogen doses helping prevent pregnancy, typically for a month.

Oral contraceptives
Traditional birth control pills prevent ovulation. They may be progestin-only or may also contain estrogen.

Plan B or emergency contraception
As the name suggests, emergency contraception is a one-time intervention that prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex.
