Our Birth Control & Contraceptive Services
First-Time Contraceptive Counseling
Starting birth control for the first time comes with a lot of noise online, from friends, from previous rushed appointments. We cut through it with a clear, complete walkthrough of every option relevant to your health profile, what each realistically involves day-to-day, and what to expect physically before you commit to anything.
Oral Contraceptive
Progestin-only, combined estrogen-progestin, monophasic, multiphasic not every formulation works the same in every body, and the wrong one causes the side effects that make women give up on the pill entirely. We review your hormonal history, sensitivity, and health profile to prescribe the right formulation, not just the most familiar one.
Hormonal Non-Pill Methods
For patients who want hormonal protection without a daily pill, we provide in-depth counseling on the contraceptive patch, vaginal ring, and hormonal injections including what adherence actually looks like in practice, what hormonal differences exist between methods, and how each interacts with common conditions like migraines, mood disorders, or endometriosis.
Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) Counseling
When daily or monthly management isn’t what you want, long-acting options offer reliable protection without the ongoing mental load. We counsel on hormonal IUDs, copper IUDs, and subdermal implants explaining the meaningful differences between them, what placement involves, and what to realistically expect during adjustment then coordinate placement when you’re ready to move forward.
Emergency Contraception Consultation
Timing matters. We provide same-day telehealth and in-person consultations to walk you through your emergency contraceptive options based on where you are in your cycle, how much time has passed, and what your health history suggests is most appropriate without judgment and without delay.
Contraceptive Method Review & Switching
If your current method is causing side effects you’ve been told to live with, we reassess. Mood changes, irregular bleeding, headaches, low libido, and disrupted cycles are clinical signals worth evaluating not just the cost of being on birth control. We identify what’s happening and guide you through a transition to something that actually works for you.
Common Symptoms & Situations Patients Come to us
- Persistent mood changes, low energy, or libido disruption tied to a current hormonal method
- Irregular or absent periods since starting or switching contraceptives
- Wanting to move to a lower-maintenance option without sacrificing effectiveness
- Headaches or cardiovascular concerns that limit which hormonal methods are safe
- First-time contraceptive guidance after reaching the limits of what the internet or a rushed appointment provided
- Emergency contraception after unprotected sex, with questions about what's appropriate given timing and health history
- Managing contraception alongside an existing diagnosis or prescription medication
- Interest in non-hormonal options for personal, medical, or religious reasons
- Prescription renewals with a provider who actually reviews your current experience before automatically refilling
- Reproductive life planning coordinating contraception with future pregnancy goals and timelines
What to Expect During Your Visit?
A birth control visit at Serenity Choice Health is structured around what your body and life actually require:
- A complete review of your personal and family health history, including any prior contraceptive experiences and how your body responded
- Open discussion of what your day-to-day life looks like and what level of method involvement is realistic for you
- A clear, jargon-free explanation of every option that fits your health profile — including ones your previous provider may not have discussed
- Health screening or lab work ordered when clinically indicated, not as a formality
- Same-day prescription for confirmed oral or hormonal methods when appropriate
- A structured follow-up timeline and consistent access to the same provider going forward
You leave the appointment knowing what you’re taking, what to expect, what to watch for, and exactly who to call if something changes not hoping the pamphlet in your bag covers what the appointment didn’t.
Birth Control & Your Follow up
Birth control isn’t a static decision. Hormones shift, health conditions evolve, relationships change, and reproductive goals move in different directions at different points in life. We stay involved through:
- Regular prescription management and method monitoring at scheduled intervals
- Proactive evaluation of side effects rather than waiting for a crisis appointment
- Adjustment or method transitions whenever your current approach stops serving you well
- Contraceptive planning that accounts for where you want to be reproductively in one year, five years, and beyond
- Coordination with women’s primary care so your contraceptive health is never siloed from the rest of your medical picture
- Between-visit access to your provider for questions that are real and time-sensitive, not just ones that feel significant enough for a full appointment

Insurance, Medicaid & Payment Options
Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans are required to cover FDA-approved contraceptive methods and related counseling at no out-of-pocket cost. Our billing team reviews your specific plan benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises when you arrive. Coverage details vary by plan, and we walk you through what applies to your situation during scheduling.
Patients without insurance are always welcome. We accept Medicaid and connect uninsured patients with financial assistance programs and community resources because access to contraceptive care shouldn’t depend on your current coverage status.
The Most Question We Got so Far
Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.
My current pill causes mood changes my doctor says are unrelated to the pill. Can you help?
Hormonal sensitivity varies significantly between individuals and between formulations. What one person tolerates without issue another experiences as a meaningful disruption to mood, energy, or libido. We review your current prescription, your symptom pattern, and your hormonal history to determine whether a formulation change or a different method category entirely is worth considering. We don’t dismiss the connection before looking at the evidence.
Can I get a same-day prescription if I come in or do a telehealth visit?
For confirmed oral and hormonal contraceptive methods, same-day prescribing is available in most cases following a completed consultation. We don’t make you schedule a separate prescription visit after the counseling appointment.
I'm on medication for another condition. Does that affect which birth control is safe?
Is everything about my visit kept confidential?
