Reliable Birth Control for Your Peace of Mind
Welcome to First Medical Center, your trusted partner in reproductive health. We offer contraceptive injections, a highly effective and convenient method of birth control designed to give you control over your reproductive choices.
What is a Contraceptive Injection?
A contraceptive injection, often referred to as Depo-Provera, is a hormonal birth control method that provides protection against pregnancy for up to 12 weeks with a single injection. It works by delivering progestin, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, directly into the bloodstream, preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to inhibit sperm movement.
Benefits of Contraceptive Injections
- Highly Effective: With a success rate of over 99% when administered correctly, contraceptive injections are one of the most reliable forms of birth control.
- Convenience: Only one injection every three months means you don’t have to remember daily pills.
- Discreet: The injection is a private method of contraception with no visible devices or daily routines.
- Menstrual Regulation: Many women experience lighter periods or may stop menstruating altogether after several injections.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Contraceptive injections are suitable for women who:
- Prefer a long-acting method of birth control.
- Have difficulty remembering daily pills.
- Want to avoid hormonal fluctuations associated with other forms of contraception.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Our healthcare provider will assess your medical history, discuss your birth control options, and answer any questions you may have.
- Injection: The contraceptive injection is administered in a muscle, usually in the arm or buttock. The procedure takes only a few minutes.
- Post-Appointment Care: You can resume normal activities immediately after the injection. Your provider will discuss potential side effects and what to expect.
Possible Side Effects
While most women tolerate the injection well, some may experience:
- Irregular menstrual bleeding
- Weight gain
- Mood changes
- Headaches
These side effects typically improve over time, but if they persist, consult your healthcare provider.
