What Contraception Options Are Available?

The right contraception for you should support your reproductive health and well-being as well as your family planning goals. Your needs will likely change throughout your lifetime, which is why our providers are here to discuss several birth control methods with you like:

  • Hormonal Birth Control
    Hormonal birth control methods, such as the pill, patch, or ring, use hormones to prevent pregnancy by regulating your menstrual cycle and ovulation.
  • Long-Term Birth Control
    Long-term options, like IUDs and implants, offer reliable pregnancy protection for several years at a time without the need for daily maintenance. There are both hormonal and non-hormonal options for this method.
  • Permanent Birth Control
    If you're certain that you've completed your family or that you do not want children, permanent solutions like tubal ligation can provide a long-lasting option for pregnancy prevention.

Talk to Your Provider About Postpartum Birth Control

After giving birth, you'll need information about contraception options. Ideally, you should wait at least 18 months before trying to become pregnant again to allow your body time to heal. You may need to space pregnancies even further depending on your unique family and medical situation.

Your UWH of Texas healthcare provider will guide you through safe contraception options personalized to your needs. We'll take into consideration your medical history and any other factors that may impact your choices over time.

IUD Insertion / Removal

No wait time at all. Went in to have birth controlled removed, was painless and effortless.

Review for Shaheen Jacob, MD, FACOG

Blood Draw

No trouble finding vein. Very professional and a short wait time. Randall has always been understanding. It is common as an older woman to often be dismissed and treated as a throwaway. Randall has always treated me as if I just might have something to offer and am able to grasp health information. I have always appreciated his readiness to listen and include me in my health decisions.

Childbirth / Labor & Delivery

Best OBGYN

Review for Viviana Ellis, MD

Pap Smear

Dr was 30 mins late, so could not be rated a 5. Also, really don't appreciate that insurance pressures won't allow the Dr to generally care for a women holistically anymore at yearly well check up. Makes me feel like just a procedure no longer a person. It's a shame for younger women who likely only see their GYN, no other Drs during the year as they are healthy.

Review for Paula Bilica, DO

Annual Well Woman Exam

Everything was good Dr Ellis is great

Review for Viviana Ellis, MD

Perimenopause Treatment for Women

I was extremely happy with Yasmin. She was personable, thoughtful, and helpful. The lab tech, on the other hand, was very dismissive which made for an unpleasant experience. To make a long story short, I had warned her about approaching my blood draw (as I have 50 years of experience knowing how my veins behave.) She dismissed what I said and ended up having to attempt the draw multiple times. Had she been more attentive to me from the moment she called me in the lobby, she would've been more successful the first time and made for a much more pleasant experience.

Review for Yasmin Rahman, APRN, FNP-C
