What Contraception Options Are Available?

The right contraception for you should support your reproductive health and well-being as well as your family planning goals. Your needs will likely change throughout your lifetime, which is why our providers are here to discuss several birth control methods with you like:

  • Hormonal Birth Control
    Hormonal birth control methods, such as the pill, patch, or ring, use hormones to prevent pregnancy by regulating your menstrual cycle and ovulation.
  • Long-Term Birth Control
    Long-term options, like IUDs and implants, offer reliable pregnancy protection for several years at a time without the need for daily maintenance. There are both hormonal and non-hormonal options for this method.
  • Permanent Birth Control
    If you're certain that you've completed your family or that you do not want children, permanent solutions like tubal ligation can provide a long-lasting option for pregnancy prevention.

Talk to Your Provider About Postpartum Birth Control

After giving birth, you'll need information about contraception options. Ideally, you should wait at least 18 months before trying to become pregnant again to allow your body time to heal. You may need to space pregnancies even further depending on your unique family and medical situation.

Your UWH of Texas healthcare provider will guide you through safe contraception options personalized to your needs. We'll take into consideration your medical history and any other factors that may impact your choices over time.
