✨ BIRTH CONTROL OPTIONS ✨

There is no one size fits all when it comes to birth control. The right option depends on your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.

COMMON OPTIONS TO KNOW
💊 Birth control pills, taken daily and can help regulate cycles
🩹 Patch, changed weekly and worn on the skin
💉 Injection, given every 3 months
🧷 IUD, long acting and placed in the uterus
💡 Implant, a small rod placed in the arm that lasts for years
🛡️ Condoms, hormone free and protect against STIs
🌿 Natural family planning, tracking cycles and ovulation

Each option has its own benefits, risks, and effectiveness. What works for one person may not be the best for another.

At Harbour Women’s Health, we help you find the option that fits your life, not the other way around.

Contact us to schedule a visit and talk through what is best for you 💜

🚨 NEW GUIDELINES UPDATE 🚨

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has released updated guidance on Postmenopausal Bleeding (PMB), and it is something every woman should know.

Postmenopausal bleeding is never considered normal and should always be evaluated. The updated guidance reinforces the importance of timely assessment to rule out serious conditions, including endometrial cancer.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
🩺 Any bleeding after menopause means get checked
🩺 Early evaluation leads to better outcomes
🩺 Most causes are treatable, but should never be ignored

At Harbour Women’s Health, we follow the latest evidence based guidelines to ensure you receive the safest and most up to date care. If you have experienced any postmenopausal bleeding, do not wait, reach out to your provider.

Your health matters at every stage 💜
