Birth Control Options at Healthy Futures

Explore some of the birth control options available at Healthy Futures:

An IUD is a small T-shaped device inserted into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is one of the most effective, long-term, and reversible birth control methods available, with a 99% effectiveness rate. The procedure is quick, and the IUD can be removed at any time. We offer two types:

Paragard IUD: Hormone-free and effective for up to 12 years, but it may cause slightly heavier periods.

Liletta IUD: Contains a low level of progesterone and lasts up to 8 years. It often results in lighter or no periods.

Nexplanon is a tiny, matchstick-sized rod implanted under the skin of your arm. It releases hormones to prevent pregnancy and is effective for up to 5 years. This low-maintenance option is 99% effective.

Depo-Provera is an injection administered every 3 months. It’s a convenient and private option, containing only the hormone progesterone. When taken on schedule, it is 96% effective.

Birth control pills come in various formulations of estrogen and progesterone. Taken daily, the pill is a safe, affordable, and effective option, with around 93% effectiveness when used consistently.

The patch is worn on discrete areas of the body and replaced weekly. It delivers estrogen and progesterone through the skin, offering a 93% effectiveness rate. This method is a convenient alternative to daily pills.

The vaginal ring is a small, flexible plastic ring placed inside the vagina for 3 weeks, followed by a week off. It releases estrogen and progesterone, with a 93% effectiveness rate, and is a more reliable option for those who prefer not to take daily pills.

A vasectomy is a quick, outpatient procedure where the tubes carrying sperm are cut or blocked to prevent pregnancy. It’s highly effective (99%) and allows you to go home the same day. Vasectomy is a permanent method of birth control for men who are certain they don’t want children in the future.
