Contraceptive Counseling

AT METRO OB GYN WE TAKE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR PATIENTS SERIOUSLY. 

Each one of our trained and talented staff members is incredibly passionate about the obstetrical and gynecological care of our patients. One of our many areas of expertise is contraceptive counseling.

Why Contraceptive Counseling?

Arguably, the most important advancement in women’s health in the last 30 years has been the increased availability of contraception that is not only affordable but also safe and effective. There are several forms of birth control readily available depending on your needs. Contraceptive counseling is an effective way of learning which form of birth control is the best fit for each patient.


It’s All About Options

One of our medical professionals will visit with you to discuss your past medical history, the ease of use of a particular form of contraception, any risks and side effects there may be, and other factors that may influence your choice of contraception. Costs for the different contraceptives will also be discussed so you will be able to find one to fit your budget. We will take the time to make sure all of your questions and concerns are addressed so we can help you make the most informed choice possible about birth control. Finally--and most importantly--we will make sure you are well-cared for at all times.

If you have any additional questions about how you can benefit from contraceptive counseling, or if you would like to learn more about the many types of birth control in general, please don’t hesitate to contact Metro OB GYN today.


Birth Control for Busy Moms

As a busy mom, you have a “to do”  list a mile long and there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done.  At Metro OB GYN we understand your busy schedule.  We offer a wide variety of birth control options to fit your busy lifestyle, including birth control pills, Mirena® and NuvaRing®. It is important to note that, while these treatment options are effective in preventing birth, they do not prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

Birth Control Pills

One of the oldest forms of birth control is the pill. It is still effective, and there have been great advances in the pill's effectiveness since it's inception in 1960. However, the pill still must be taken daily.  One missed day results in having to use another form of birth control to ensure pregnancy prevention. Your healthcare provider will discuss any possible side effects of birth control pills with you during your visit.

Skyla

Skyla is an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) that’s more than 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. It’s made of soft, flexible plastic and placed into the uterus during a routine office visit. Skyla releases small amounts of hormone directly into the uterus. It's convenient because it requires no daily maintenance or monthly refills. It can also be removed at any time if you decide you want to become pregnant. As with any form of birth control some side effects may occur.  Please feel free to ask if you have questions. 

NuvaRing

NuvaRing, or etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring, is a small, flexible birth control ring that is 98 percent effective in preventing pregnancy when used as directed. You insert the ring into your vagina and remove it yourself, similar to a tampon. The NuvaRing, which releases a continuous low dose of hormones, remains in the vagina for three weeks before it is removed and a new one is inserted.  Please note:  NuvaRing should not be used if you are pregnant.

One of our medical professionals will discuss your past medical history, the ease of use of a particular form of contraception, any side effects that may occur, and a large number of other factors that may influence your decision in the type of contraceptive you choose.

At Metro OB GYN we pride ourselves on helping each and every one of our patients make the most informed choice possible with regard to the type of birth control they choose. We’ll make sure that all of your concerns are addressed, all of your questions are answered, and that you’re well-taken cared for at all times.

If you have any additional questions about how you can benefit from contraceptive counseling, or if you’d just like to learn more about the many available forms of birth control in general, please don’t hesitate to contact Metro OB GYN today.
