Family Planning

Welcome to Cleveland OB/GYN guide on contraception! We understand that choosing the right method can be overwhelming, but we're here to help you make an informed decision. 


There are a variety of types of contraception available, each with its own unique benefits. First, consider whether you want a hormonal or non-hormonal method. Hormonal methods, such as the pill or the implant, use hormones to prevent pregnancy. Non-hormonal methods, such as condoms or copper IUDs, work without hormones. 


Next, think about how long you want your method to last. Short-acting methods, such as condoms or the contraceptive sponge, are used each time you have sex. Long-acting methods, such as the implant or IUD, can last for several years and require less maintenance. 


Finally, consider whether you want a permanent or non-permanent method. Permanent methods, such as sterilization, are meant to be permanent and cannot be reversed. Non-permanent methods, such as the pill or condoms, can be discontinued when you're ready to conceive. 


Remember, there is no "one size fits all" method of contraception. It's important to talk to your healthcare provider about your options and decide what works best for you and your lifestyle.
