Family Planning and Contraception

Your provider will start by discussing your health history, lifestyle, and goals—whether you’re avoiding pregnancy, managing symptoms, or preparing to conceive. Together, we’ll review the options, discuss benefits and side effects, and decide on a plan that feels right for you.

Depending on your plan, we may schedule a follow-up to check how your method is working or adjust if needed. Keep track of any symptoms or changes, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions—your care doesn’t stop when the appointment ends. We’re here for ongoing support, whether you’re sticking with your method or planning your next step.
