At Blue Mountain Clinic we offer a wide range of contraceptive options and the staff to help you choose the one that's right for you. There are many methods of contraception available today but hormonal methods are still the most popular for women. These include the birth control pill, injectable contraception or the birth control shot, the contraceptive patch, the contraceptive ring and intrauterine devices.
Barrier methods include the condom, diaphragm, and cervical caps.
Choosing the right birth control method is important. You want to make sure you choose a method that you are comfortable with and willing to use correctly to be as effective as possible. If you will never remember to take the pill, or replace a patch, perhaps an intrauterine device is something you would be interested in. If you do not want a hormonal method of birth control perhaps a barrier method is best for you.
If you wish to discuss birth control options with a trained counselor, call Blue Mountain Clinic to schedule an appointment today.
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for approving birth control methods, visit their site for a comprehensive list of options at a glance. The National Women's Health Information Center has a downloadable PDF of contraceptive options. And if you or a teen girl you know is looking for information on sexuality, birth control and healthy decision making visit the Center for Young Women's Health here.
If you are interested in permanent birth control, call Blue Mountain Clinic and we can refer you to local providers who perform tubal ligation or vasectomy.
