Why Family Planning Matters
Every year, nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned.* Proactive family planning allows you to take control of your reproductive timeline, protect your health, and prepare for pregnancy when the time is right.
Our approach to family planning goes beyond birth control. We help you:
- Plan pregnancies on your timeline
- Protect your health before and between pregnancies
- Explore your full range of contraception options
- Make informed decisions based on your life and health goals
Spacing pregnancies is just as important as deciding when to start your family. Most medical experts recommend at least 18 months between deliveries to allow your body time to recover.
PregnancyComprehensive Contraception Options
No two women have the same needs. That’s why we offer a wide variety of birth control methods and take the time to walk you through your choices. Your provider will consider your medical history, lifestyle, and preferences to recommend the best method for you.
Options include:
- Short-term methods: Birth control pills, patches, and condoms
- Long-acting methods: IUDs, implants, and injections
- Permanent solutions: Tubal ligation or salpingectomy
- Hormonal and non-hormonal options to fit your unique body and goals
You can also talk to your provider about emergency contraception, natural family planning, and how to switch methods safely and effectively if relevant.
