It varies depending on the type used and how consistently it is used. For example, hormonal methods like the pill, patch, or ring are over 90% effective with perfect use, but their effectiveness can decrease with missed doses or incorrect use. Long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUDs and implants are over 99% effective, as they don’t rely on you remembering to take them daily.
Plan For Your Family’s Future
Birth control methods are techniques or devices used to avert pregnancy by blocking the release of eggs from the ovaries, or interfering with fertilization.
Dr. Soyini Hawkins founded Fibroid and Pelvic Wellness Center of Georgia with the focus of providing comprehensive care for women’s health like birth control services in Atlanta.
Birth Control Methods We Offer
IUDs
An IUD is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider. Most people who use IUDs continue to ovulate or release an egg each month during their menstrual cycle.
Hormonal Contraceptives
Hormonal contraceptive, such as oral birth control pills, rings, patches and injections contain hormones that prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
Implanon
Implanon is a small, flexible, plastic rod that’s inserted under the skin of the upper arm to prevent pregnancy. It’s a type of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) that releases a hormone called etonogestrel into the body over a period of up to three years.
Non Hormonal Contraceptives
Copper IUDs or contraceptive gels can offer contraception without hormones.
