Birth Control FAQ's

When should I talk to my provider about birth control?


Schedule a visit with NP Healthcare Group if you are:


  • Considering starting contraception
  • Experiencing side effects
  • Having difficulty taking your birth control as directed
  • Want to discuss options that may better fit your lifestyle

Your provider can also discuss questions about effectiveness, potential side effects, and what to expect after starting a new method. Having answers when you need them can make the process more fulfilling and less frustrating.


How is birth control prescribed and managed through telehealth?


During a virtual primary care visit, your NP Healthcare Group provider goes over your medical history, current medications, and reproductive health goals.


When appropriate, they may prescribe certain forms of hormonal birth control, including:


  • Birth control pills
  • Patches
  • Vaginal rings

Some contraceptive methods require an in-person visit or procedure. For example, intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants must be placed by a trained healthcare professional. Your virtual provider can help you understand your options and determine when you need to schedule an in-person appointment.


Telehealth supports consistent follow-up care, allowing you to discuss side effects, concerns, issues with adherence to your current plan, or whether you’d like to change methods.


What are the benefits of using virtual primary care for my birth control needs?


Birth control care should be convenient and accessible, and your NP Healthcare Group provider strives to put you first. You can discuss sensitive reproductive health questions privately from home without traveling to a traditional medical office.


Telehealth appointments may also make it easier to maintain ongoing care. If you experience side effects or have questions after starting a method, you can connect with your provider to discuss your concerns and determine whether an adjustment can smooth the process.


Virtual care can be especially helpful when you already know which contraceptive option you want to discuss or need routine follow-up for an existing prescription. Your provider can help you understand your choices, identify potential safety considerations, and coordinate in-person care when necessary.


Whether you’re starting birth control, considering a different method, or simply have questions about contraception, schedule a telehealth appointment by calling NP Healthcare Group or booking via the website now.
