✨ Birth Control 101: Understanding Your Options ✨

Choosing the right birth control is a personal decision — and knowing your options helps you make the best choice for your body and lifestyle. 💕

Whether you’re looking to prevent pregnancy, regulate your cycle, or manage conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, our providers are here to help you find the method that fits your body and your lifestyle. 💕

Here’s a quick overview of the main types:

🔹 Hormonal Methods
Pill – taken daily to prevent ovulation.
Patch – worn on the skin and changed weekly.
Vaginal Ring – inserted monthly for continuous protection.
Shot (Depo-Provera) – given every 3 months.
Implant (Nexplanon) – a small rod placed in the arm that lasts up to 3 years.

🔹 Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)
Hormonal IUDs (Mirena, Kyleena, etc.) – last 3–8 years and can lighten periods.
Copper IUD (Paragard) – hormone-free, effective for up to 10 years.

🔹 Barrier Methods
Condoms (male and female) – protect against pregnancy and STIs.

🔹 Permanent Options
Tubal Ligation – surgical option for those who are sure they don’t want future pregnancies.
Vasectomy – a permanent option for male partners.

🔹 Other Methods
Fertility Awareness – tracking ovulation and cycle patterns.

Every method has its own benefits, side effects, and effectiveness. Our team is here to help you find the one that’s right for you. 🌸

📣 September is National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month & National Ovarian Cancer Month 💚💙

Gynecologic cancers include cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Together, they impact thousands of women and people with female reproductive organs every year.

🔹 Gynecologic Cancers

Nearly 100,000 women are diagnosed each year in the U.S.

Over 30,000 die annually from these cancers.

🔹 Ovarian Cancer

Often called the “silent killer” because symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked.

1 in 78 women will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetime.

When detected early, the 5-year survival rate is over 90%—but only about 20% of cases are found early.

💡 Know the signs: bloating, pelvic/abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary urgency or frequency.

💚 Spread awareness.
💙 Support research.
💚 Encourage regular check-ups and early detection.
