Contraception Q & A
-
What is
contraception?
Contraception is any device, method, or medication that prevents pregnancy. Many birth control methods that prevent pregnancy also treat other conditions, including menstrual cramps and acne.
Contraception methods work by:
Preventing sperm from reaching eggs: condoms, diaphragms, contraceptive sponges, and intrauterine devices (IUDs)
Stopping the ovaries from releasing eggs: birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings
Tracking the woman’s menstrual cycle to avoid sex during fertile days: natural family planning
Permanently preventing pregnancy: sterilization -
Which
birth control method is right for me?
Dr. Mann and her team begins your birth control consultation with a comprehensive well-woman exam, including a pelvic exam and Pap smear. She discusses your sexual health and habits and explains the various types of contraception available. In choosing a birth control method, it’s important to consider: How each method works
How often you have sex
If you want a daily or long-term option
If you want to have children in the future
Potential side effects
Your age
Your family history of certain diseases
Your overall health
Dr. Mann and her team suggests birth control methods based on your needs and health and empowers you to make the best choice for you. She gives you the information and support to stay safe and prevent unwanted pregnancy. She also monitors you closely and adjusts or changes your birth control as needed. -
Can I
get pregnant after going off birth control?
Pregnancy isn’t possible after sterilization without surgical intervention. But for fertile women in good health, pregnancy is possible after they stop other forms of contraception.
After you stop taking the birth control pill, pregnancy is possible during the next cycle, though it can take up to two months to return to your regular cycle. The same is true for other birth control methods that alter hormones like the contraceptive patch or vaginal ring.
For women using other methods of birth control, it may take longer to recover fertility. It can take up to 10 months after stopping the birth control shot to get pregnant, and an IUD must be removed before pregnancy is possible.
Every woman’s reproductive health needs are unique. Dr.Mann encourages you to ask questions and learn about all the different contraceptive methods available to you.
