Terrible lighting but entirely too excited that we all got to take home an IUD demo (this one is Kyleena which is new!) and uterus disk to practice IUD insertion (after the IUD insertion workshop we hosted!) Above technique is mine alone and not 100% accurate, do not try this at home, consult your doctor, etc. But this is vaguely what an IUD insertion looks like :)

Dispelling Contraception Myths

If we had a dollar for every time a patient asked us if the pill was going to make her fat, we might be able to double our salaries.

It seems like using a condom during penile-vaginal sex is drilled into our heads from the start of “the talk” to our final sexuality education class. Condoms are a great way to prevent pregnancy. They are also a great back-up for hormonal birth control, and they even help prevent the spread of many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). But what if you don’t use a condom in the heat of the moment? And you’re usually so good about taking the pill, but it just slipped your mind today. It can be so easy to forget a daily birth control method. And how can you schedule appointments for your birth control shot around finals and basketball practice and the spring musical? A more long-term method of birth control might be right for you.

LARCs—or long-acting reversible contraception—can prevent pregnancy for years, which means you can focus more on that big softball game next week than whether you took your pill!
