Family Planning
Whether you are ready to add a new addition to your family or are being careful not to, we can help with a wide range of family planning services such as natural family planning and contraception, in addition to information and counseling regarding appropriate, individual options.
Natural Family Planning
One of the special services that we promote is natural family planning (NFP). We invest the time that it takes with our families to explore this natural and holistic method of family planning. NFP involves shared responsibility between partners and respect for the gift of fertility. It uses no drugs or devices, involves no surgery and requires no interference with normal body function in men or women.
Instead, NFP utilizes natural signs of fertility and infertility to accomplish effective family planning. In addition, it involves minimal cost and can be used to promote or avoid pregnancy.
Finally, NFP promotes couple bonding through enhancement of communication in this very intimate area of life.
Contraception
Using contraceptives to prevent pregnancy is another form of family planning we offer. There is a large array of contraceptive options available in our practice including fitting of diaphragms, insertion of Implanon and a variety of oral contraceptive prescriptions. These services are provided both by our board certified gynecologist physicians and certified nurse-midwives.
With so many options available, we are here to help you make the best decision for your body and lifestyle.
