Why Birth Control? 

People use birth control for a range of reasons. It's not just for preventing unintended pregnancy. People who aren't sexually active or aren't having sex that can cause pregnancy may still be interested in birth control. 

Our clinicians are birth control experts and can help you understand whether birth control is right for you, and what method is best for your lifestyle and your body. Don't want a hormonal method, or don't want to think about birth control every day? No problem! We. Have. Options!
