Contraception

You are warmly welcome for a contraception consultation and the placement of contraception, even if you are not under our care. 

We take the time to discuss the different options together and to see what suits you best, so you can make a choice that you feel good about.

Whether you have recently given birth, are in the postpartum period, are coming for a follow-up, or want advice at another time: we are happy to think along with you. Even if you are not (been) pregnant, you can freely discuss this topic with a midwife. 

Options within our practice

At Luna & Sol Verloskundigen, you can find various forms of contraception. Together we will look at which method best suits your body, wishes, and life stage.

Within our practice, we can among other things:
  • insert spirals
  • insert an implant (Implanon)
  • prescribe contraception

During a consultation, we will calmly discuss the pros and cons of the different options, and there is plenty of space for your questions.

Types of contraception

There are different forms of contraception. What suits you best can vary from person to person and depend on life stage.

During a contraception consultation, we take our time to discuss the possibilities and look together at which form best fits your body, wishes, and situation.

Intrauterine device (hormonal or copper)

An intrauterine device is a small anchor-shaped device placed in the uterus. A hormonal IUD releases a small amount of hormone, while a copper IUD works without hormones. Both offer long-lasting protection against pregnancy.

Implant

The implant is a small, flexible rod that is placed under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a hormone that prevents pregnancy and works for several years.

Contraceptive pill and other hormonal methods

The contraceptive pill is taken daily and contains hormones that prevent pregnancy. In addition to the pill, there are other hormonal forms of contraception, such as the patch, ring, or injection.

During a contraception consultation, we calmly look together at the different options. This way, you can make a choice that fits your body, your life, and what makes you feel good.
