Birth control: Need help navigating your options?

August 20, 2024

When you’re considering birth control, the number of options can seem overwhelming. There is no “best” method of birth control for everyone. The birth control method that is right for you depends on many things – and those things may change at different times in your life.

If you’re interested in birth control, we’ll help you decide what’s best for you! We’ll talk with you about things like:

  • Whether you want to get pregnant soon, in a few years, or never
  • How well each method works to prevent pregnancy
  • Possible side effects
  • How often you have sex
  • The number of sex partners you have
  • Your overall health
  • How comfortable you’d be with using different kinds of birth control
  • Remember that any birth control method can fail. But your chances of getting pregnant are much lower if you use a more effective method. Let us help you find the one that’s best for you. Schedule an appointment with me, or one of my fellow caregivers, in Women’s Health at Winona Health.

Katie Duerr, CNM
