Contraceptive Methods

Contraceptive methods in Houston, TX: guidance, pills and injection. In Spanish, with affordable pricing.

Choosing a birth control method is a personal decision that depends on your health, your plans and what's practical day to day. At Clínica Hispana Cruz 4 we walk you through the options in Spanish, unhurried and without judgment, and help you start the method you choose.

Methods we handle at the clinic

Birth control pills: one a day, ideally at a fixed hour. Besides preventing pregnancy, they often regulate periods and ease cramps
The birth control shot: one injection every three months. Useful if you tend to forget pills; it can change your bleeding pattern
Removal of the arm implant when it has run its course or you want to switch methods

What the visit looks like

We review your history: blood pressure, migraines, smoking, past pregnancies and current medications, because some conditions make a method unsafe. From there, the doctor recommends the options that suit you and explains how to start, what side effects to expect and what to do if you miss a dose.

How to compare them

Ask yourself three questions: will I remember something daily? Do I want to get pregnant in the next year? Does a change in my bleeding bother me? The answers guide the choice better than any list.

Protection against infections

Pills, the shot and the implant prevent pregnancy, but not sexually transmitted infections. Condoms remain the only protection against those.

Follow-up

Spotting or period changes are normal in the first months. A follow-up visit lets us adjust the method if it doesn't agree with you, instead of dropping it and being left unprotected.

Other methods

If you're interested in an IUD or the implant, we explain how they work, what they offer in your case and the next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on which day of your cycle you start. The doctor tells you whether you need condoms as backup for the first seven days.

Some people gain a little weight on the three-month shot, but not everyone does. If it worries you, we review it at follow-up and consider another option.

With pills, fertility usually returns within a few weeks. With the shot it can take several months longer, so keep that in mind if you're planning a pregnancy.
