Birth control

Birth control counselling

Contraception (birth control) falls into two major categories: permanent and temporary.
Temporary contraception includes two types: hormonal and non-hormonal contraception.
Research shows that hormonal contraception is most effective in the prevention of pregnancy—but with proper counselling, you can effectively use non-hormonal methods.

Before you begin hormonal contraception, we will:

  • Assess your individual risks and benefits

  • Counsel you on how to use contraception

  • Counsel you on how to manage any side effects

  • Schedule ongoing follow-ups

Emergency contraception

As its name indicates, emergency contraception is for emergencies only—it’s not designed to be used as regular contraception.

Emergency contraception is available in two forms:

  • Pills (taken up to 72 hours following unprotected sex)

  • Copper IUD (inserted up to five days following unprotected sex)
