Birth control pills

One of the most popular methods of birth control is “The Pill.” Many people like the pill because it’s effective in preventing pregnancy, easy to swallow, and can be obtained easily. When taken every day, at the same time each day, birth control pills are very effective in preventing an unplanned pregnancy.

Intrauterine devices

IUDs

An intrauterine contraceptive (IUC, or more commonly known as IUD) is a highly effective, long-acting, fully reversible contraceptive method of birth control. They can be used effectively for 3 to 12 years, depending on the IUD, and can be removed at any time should you want to get pregnant.

Depo provera

Birth control shot

The birth control shot also known as Depo Provera, DMPA, or simply the “shot” is an injection you get once every 3 months. It contains progestin, which acts like a natural hormone produced by the body, and is slowly absorbed into the bloodstream to prevent pregnancy.

Birth control implants

The birth control implant is a form of birth control that keeps you protected up to 3 years. Since you don’t have to worry about any daily routine, it’s a great option for people who want birth control but not another daily responsibility.

Plan B

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception (EC), also commonly known as the morning-after-pill or Plan B, is a contraceptive you can use after unprotected sex. It’s most effective when used within 72 hours of unprotected sex and is not intended to be used as a regular method of birth control.
