Birth Control
Most women can become pregnant from the time they are in their teens until they are in their late 40’s. About half of all pregnancies are unplanned.
Birth control allows you to plan your family – both the number and spacing of children.

Making Birth Control Work for You
No matter which method of birth control you choose, it is important to understand how it works, how to use it, and what side effects may occur.
Certain types of birth control offer added health benefits. The more you know about birth control and your own needs, the easier it will be to choose a method right for you.
Are You Ready for a Permanent Solution?
A woman who desires permanent sterilization can opt for the Essure procedure, a tubal ligation, or her partner can consider a vasectomy. These are both surgical procedures that can be discussed with your health care provider.
