Our staff can help you decide which method of birth control is best for you. We will make sure the method is healthy for you to use. You must be sure you will be able to use it correctly every time.You should also consider whether your chosen method will help protect you from sexually transmitted diseases.

We will be happy to talk with you about barrier methods, such as the condom or the diaphragm, which are used with spermicides, hormonal methods - the Pill, the Depo-Provera shot, and Norplant implants, and the IUD.

Some methods of birth control must be started at certain times in your menstrual cycle to be effective, but we can always give you free condoms to use right away!
