Finding the right contraceptive method can feel overwhelming. Your daily routine, future family plans, and personal preferences all play a huge role. At Women’s Specialists of North Georgia, we believe your care should fit your life.
Dr. Daniel Esteves and our team help patients in Lawrenceville and Loganville, Georgia, find their ideal match. We offer personalized counseling for birth control to ensure you feel confident in your choice.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states there’s no single best contraceptive method for everyone. Instead, the best option is the one that’s safe and sustainable for you.
Your schedule is a major factor when comparing different contraceptive options. Some methods require daily attention, while others work automatically in the background.
If you have an unpredictable schedule, user-dependent methods like the pill can be difficult to manage. A clinical reference summary from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) shows that oral contraceptive pills have a typical-use failure rate of 7% in the first year. In contrast, hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) maintain a typical-use failure rate of just 0.1% in the first year.
At our offices, we offer long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) like IUDs and implants. These options remove the stress of remembering a daily pill.
If you want to grow your family later, you need to know how quickly your fertility will return. Different methods have different timelines for when you can get pregnant after stopping them.
A systematic review in Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinical Medicine (GOCM) evaluated fertile women who stopped using progestin-only birth control. The researchers found that users of oral pills and hormonal IUDs returned to ovulation sooner than those using injectables or implants. However, by one year after stopping, pregnancy rates across all these methods were similar.
We help you plan for every stage of life. Whether you want a method that’s easy to stop tomorrow or one that lasts for years, we’ll guide you through the transition.
We prioritize your comfort and personal goals. We use a shared decision-making model to help you choose.
During your consultation, we discuss your daily habits, side effect concerns, and health history. If you choose an IUD, we can discuss options like local anesthetics to make the insertion procedure more comfortable.
If you experience side effects like irregular spotting, we don’t just tell you to live with it. We can provide medical treatments to help manage bleeding so you can stay on your preferred method.
