Family Planning in Davenport, Winter Haven, & Lake Wales, FL

At Heart of Florida OB/GYN Associates, we'll help you determine the birth control method that is right for your lifestyle and unique needs. We offer oral contraceptives and hormonal contraceptives, including rings, injections, implants, patches, and I.U.D. (Intrauterine Devise). We can also discuss the effectiveness of other methods like condoms and spermicide. Once you've chosen a certain method, we'll go over how it works and how to administer it and discuss benefits and potential side effects to watch out for. We have over 100 years of combined professional industry experience, and we stay on top of all current developments in the field of family planning.

If you're currently pregnant and receiving prenatal care, we can discuss your options for postpartum birth control if you're done having children or you wish to put off having another baby. Our professionals will describe the pros and cons of all forms of birth control including pills, injectables, vaginal rings, Nexplanon, intrauterine devices, and what is safe while breastfeeding. We'll talk about what your desires are and suggest methods that are longer lasting or more temporary based on your wishes.

We offer surgical sterilization and sterilization with Essure, which does not require an incision. If you're pregnant and having a cesarean section, we can combine your sterilization with that procedure. Sterilization is designed to be a permanent procedure for women who are sure they're done having children. In surgical sterilization, we close the fallopian tubes in one of several ways: cutting, sealing them with an electric current or closing them with clamps, clips, rings, or removal of the tubes. With the Essure procedure, we place tiny inserts in the fallopian tubes, and tissue grows around the inserts and blocks the tubes.
