Birth Control

At Victoria Women's Clinic, we strive to offer you the healthiest and most modern options for birth control. Recent advances provide you with the choice of whether to administer your contraceptive daily, weekly or monthly, or you may choose to make your birth control a permanent sterilization. Talk with your physician at to decide which birth control method best suits your preferences and lifestyle. Options include:

    Mirena IUD

Mirena is a soft, flexible IUD that releases small amounts of hormone locally into your uterus. It gives you birth control you can count on—that lasts for as long as you want, for up to 5 years. It is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy and you can try to become pregnant as soon as Mirena is removed. Within a year of having Mirena removed, about 8 out of 10 women succeed at becoming pregnant. If you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers, Mirena is not right for you. Mirena is also proven to reduce heavy periods in women who choose intrauterine contraception.

It starts working immediately, and it'll protect you from pregnancy for as long as you wish: 2, 5, even up to 10 years. It's also a flexible birth control option because it can be removed by your doctor anytime if you decide you're ready to start trying to get pregnant. And, unlike other forms of prescription birth control, it won't alter your menstrual cycle—it remains natural.
