Nexplanon, Depo-Provera, Paragard, and Mirena are products we offer for birth control in Fredericksburg.
Nexplanon is a slim implant that offers three years of continuous pregnancy prevention. A medical professional inserts it into the inner part of your upper arm. You won’t need to remove it for 3 years.
Depo-Provera or “depo shot” is a contraceptive injection that contains the hormone progestin. The contraceptive is administered in the arm or buttocks every 12-13 weeks, and provides contraception for up to 14 weeks. Depo-Provera works by suppressing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching an egg.
Tubal ligation is a form of permanent birth control in Fredericksburg. During this highly effective procedure, your provider will block your fallopian tubes, preventing the fertilization of your eggs.
Paragard is a copper device shaped like a small “T” that can be inserted into the uterus as a non-hormonal birth control method, preventing pregnancy for up to 10 years. It’s also referred to as a copper IUD. If you are interested in non-hormonal options of birth control in Fredericksburg, Paragard may be right for you.
Mirena is an IUD brand that offers contraception and relief for heavy menstrual bleeding. Levonorgestrel is released into the uterus through the insertion of a T-shaped plastic frame by a doctor, preventing pregnancy for up to 8 years.
