Family planning allows you to plan your pregnancies, spacing them apart as you wish. It also helps prevent unplanned pregnancies. Together, this lets you achieve the family size you desire. At the Avery Center, a full range of family planning services is available.
Your OB/GYN offers preconception health services, including education, counseling, and screening for specific conditions and genetic factors that may make conception or pregnancy more difficult. Preconception counseling helps you prepare and be in the best possible shape before you get pregnant, improving outcomes for both you and your baby.
Family planning services can also include:
Your doctor at the Avery Center offers a variety of contraceptive options.
The doctors at the Avery Center also offer permanent birth control options. These are for women who are already happy with the number of children they have and don’t want to get pregnant again.
Depending on your needs, your OB/GYN may recommend a tubal ligation -- getting your “tubes tied” -- or a sterilization implant like EssureⓇ. Either one blocks the fallopian tubes, preventing conception by not allowing sperm and egg to meet.
When you’re in need of family planning services, seek the help of the physicians at the Avery Center. Call today to schedule your appointment or book it online now.
