Our providers recommend arranging an initial birth control consultation appointment before prescribing birth control. During our consultation we will discuss options available and determine which option fits best for the patient. There are a number of birth control options that our providers can prescribe. Those include the birth control pill, vaginal ring and depoprovera injections. The birth control patch, implants and intrauterine devices (IUD) would be referred to an outside women’s healthcare clinic. Below are two websites that will help explain the different types of birth control and answer some of your questions:
