Contraception

Women’s Health Partners offers a wide variety of contraceptive options that will meet your needs and lifestyle. 

• Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs)
• Progesterone Mini Pill (choice for a pill while breastfeeding)
• Depo Provera
• Nuvaring contraceptive ring
• Nexplanon – birth control implant that is inserted into the arm

• Liletta is a levonorgestrel (progesterone) containing IUD that lasts for up to 5 years. Along with excellent contraception, it is also a treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Mirena and Kyleena are also levonorgestrel IUDs that prevents pregnancy for up to five years. Mirena has the same dosage and hormone as the Liletta. Kyleena has a lower dose of hormone and is smaller in diameter. Kyleena is an excellent IUD option for adolescents or women that have not had a child.
• Paragard
• Paragard is the only hormone-free IUD. It will prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. It is a good option for patients that cannot tolerate hormones or are contraindicated.

We offer different options for permanent sterilization if your family is complete.

• Laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy is an outpatient surgery requiring general anesthesia. It is now recommended to remove fallopian tubes (instead of placing a clip on the tube or burning the tube) to decrease the incidence of ovarian cancer.
• Tubal ligation is the removal of a portion of each fallopian tube and can be completed upon request or the day after a vaginal delivery. Please discuss this with your provider.

Please talk to your provider about what the best contraceptive option is for you.
