Our team is committed to providing comprehensive care and counseling to all who need our services, from birth control, to natural family planning, pregnancy testing, preconception care, and more. Our family planning program includes:

Promoting preconception health to improve pregnancy outcomes, aligning with CDC recommendations.

Counseling and guidance for those seeking to conceive, with expert advice on optimizing fertility. 

Also known as “fertility awareness” or the “rhythm method,” natural family planning relies on identifying fertility signs during your menstrual cycle to determine fertile and infertile periods. Tracking body temperature, cervical secretions, and menstrual cycle length helps you decide when it’s safe to have sex or when to abstain. While effective, it may pose challenges for those with irregular periods or breastfeeding. Proper instruction from a trained specialist enhances its effectiveness. However, about 24 out of every 100 women using natural family planning may become pregnant within the first year.
