Birth control
Planning your future? Explore your options.
Birth control encompasses various methods used to prevent pregnancy, ranging from hormonal contraceptives like pills, patches, and injections, to barrier methods such as condoms and diaphragms, and long-acting reversible contraceptives like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants. Each method has its benefits, side effects, and effectiveness rates, making it important to choose one that best fits your health, lifestyle, and reproductive goals.
Access Telehealth offers a confidential and convenient way to consult with healthcare providers about birth control options. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your needs, medical history, and preferences, receiving personalized advice and prescriptions for birth control methods. This service ensures you have access to comprehensive contraceptive care and guidance, allowing you to make informed decisions about your reproductive health, all from the privacy of your home.
Precautions
- Familiarize yourself with fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs). These involve tracking your menstrual cycle and identifying your fertile window so you can avoid intercourse during that time. Tools like basal body temperature thermometers, ovulation predictor kits, and cycle tracking apps can assist in monitoring your fertility signs.
- Consider barrier methods as a non-hormonal option. While not "home remedies" in the traditional sense, options like condoms and diaphragms can be used without a prescription and are available at most pharmacies. They provide a physical barrier to prevent sperm from reaching an egg.
- Engage in open communication with your partner(s) about birth control and family planning. This can include discussions on shared responsibility for contraception and exploring options that work best for both partners' health, comfort, and lifestyle.
Common Medications
- Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) such as combination pills containing estrogen and progestin (e.g., Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Yaz)
- Progestin-only pills (mini-pills) for those who cannot take estrogen (e.g., Micronor) Extended-cycle pills (e.g., Seasonique) or continuous-cycle pills (e.g., Lybrel) for fewer periods
