About this care
Birth control at Hollin
There is no single best birth control. There is the one that fits your body, your plans and how much you want to think about it. We walk you through every option, including the ones you may have heard mixed things about.
If you choose an IUD or implant, we can often place it at the same visit after a quick pregnancy test and a benefits check. If you only need a refill, a short video visit usually does it.
This visit is for you if
- You want to start, switch or stop birth control
- You are thinking about an IUD or implant and have questions
- Your current method has side effects you do not like
- You need emergency contraception or a refill
What is included
- A side-by-side look at pills, patch, ring, shot, IUDs and the implant
- Same-visit IUD or implant placement when possible
- Removal or replacement of an IUD or implant
- Emergency contraception, by phone or in person
- Video visits for refills and quick questions
- Referral to our surgeon for permanent options

Your care team
Who you'll see
Does an IUD placement hurt?
Most people feel cramping for a few minutes. We talk about pain relief options with you before the visit, including medicine you can take ahead of time and numbing options in the office.
Can I get my refill without coming in?
Often, yes. If you have seen us in the past year and nothing has changed, a short video visit usually covers a refill.
Do I need an exam to start the pill?
No. Most people can start the pill, patch or ring after a conversation and a blood pressure check.
