Contraception Q & A

What is contraception?

Contraception refers to methods used to prevent unplanned pregnancies. Of course, the most effective form of contraception is abstinence, or not having sex. However, if you are a sexually active woman, there are several effective options available to avoid pregnancy.

It’s important to note that even if you’re using a form of contraception to avoid getting pregnant, you are not protected from contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like HIV. Talk to Dr. Buck-Haskin about practicing safe sex in addition to contraception options.

What contraceptive services do you provide?

During your well woman visit, or other type of appointment, Dr. Buck-Haskin discusses your contraception options. The option that may be right for you depends on your age and your health needs. Dr. Buck-Haskin offers the following contraception services:

Diaphragm fittings

A diaphragm is a bendable, cup-shaped device you put over your cervix during sex to avoid sperm from reaching the egg. At her office, Dr. Buck-Haskin can help fit you with a comfortable diaphragm to use during sex.

IUD placement

An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a tiny device made out of flexible plastic that Dr. Buck-Haskin inserts into your uterus. It is one of the most effective contraception methods on the market today. It’s durable and can remain effective for up to 12 years.

Birth control pills

These are pills with hormones women take everyday to avoid getting pregnant. It’s a safe, affordable, and effective contraception method, as long as you don’t forget to take the pill.

Contraceptive implants

These are thin rods Dr. Buck-Haskin inserts beneath the skin of your arm. It releases hormones over time and keeps you from getting pregnant for several years.

These are all reversible contraception options. Dr. Buck-Haskin can also discuss lasting contraception options with you.

How do I know which contraception service is right for me?
