- Feel their family is complete

Contraceptives
Contraceptives are devices, medications and actions designed to prevent a pregnancy. There are many forms of contraceptives, like:
- Barrier methods: Condoms, cervical caps and diaphragms block sperm from entering the uterus.
- Hormonal methods: Pills, patches and IUDs contain hormones like progesterone and estrogen to prevent the sperm from entering the uterus.
Certain hormonal methods, like birth control pills, are 99% effective when taken every day. On the other hand, hormone-filled devices can last for years at a time, such as a(n):
- Birth control implant: A small device we implant below the skin of the upper arm.
- Intrauterine device (IUD): A T-shaped device about the size of a paper clip that’s inserted in the uterus. Some IUDs don't release hormones, and could be a better choice for you depending on your medical condition.
We can help you choose the contraceptive that’s right for you.
Miscarriage care
A miscarriage is an unexpected pregnancy loss within the first 20 weeks of gestation. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
- A weakened cervix
- Genetic abnormalities in the fetus, like an extra or missing chromosome
- Hormonal imbalances in the parent, such as low levels of progesterone
- Immune system disorders
- Infections
Experiencing a miscarriage can be heartbreaking, and it's not something you need to face alone. Unfortunately, up to 1 in 4 pregnancies will miscarry, with most occurring during the first trimester (first 12 weeks).
If you experience more than 1 miscarriage, something else may be affecting your reproductive health. Our staff works closely with Maternal Fetal Medicine to provide comprehensive genetics counseling and guidance in planning future pregnancies.
Sterilization
If you’ve decided your family is complete, you may be interested in a more permanent form of contraception, like sterilization. For women and assigned females at birth (AFAB), that means blocking or cutting the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy.
For assigned males at birth (AMAB), that means cutting or tying the vas deferens. You may have heard of this as getting a vasectomy.
We offer the latest, minimally invasive sterilization methods so that you can get back to your daily activities with minimal pain and recovery time.
Abortion
Also known as termination of pregnancy, abortion is the process of ending a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the womb. We offer first and second-trimester medical and surgical pregnancy termination, as well as treatment for miscarriage or fetal death.
People seeking an abortion can trust we'll protect their health and privacy.
