There are many birth control options available for family planning from the providers at Cheyenne Women’s Clinic. The right one for you depends on a number of factors. These include whether you may want to have children in the future, if you don’t mind thinking about your birth control on a regular basis, whether you need protection from sexually transmitted infections, and others.
If you’re thinking about birth control, talk with your provider about the different options for family planning and what would be best for your needs.
Birth Control Options
Barrier birth control methods – These include condoms, as well as the diaphragm and cervical cap that require an appointment for you to be “fitted” to ensure you have the right size.
Hormonal birth control methods – These work primarily by preventing ovulation. They include:
- Birth control pills – Must be taken every day. Learn what you should know about "the pill."
- Contraceptive patch – Each patch lasts for a week.
- Vaginal ring – Lasts for three weeks and is replaced monthly.
- Hormone shots – Lasts for three months, must visit your provider for each shot.
Long-acting reversible contraception – These types of birth control work work well if you don’t want to think about your birth control on a regular basis but you think you would like to have children someday.
- Hormone implant – Lasts for up to three years, but your provider can remove it at any time if you decide you would like to become pregnant. Learn about Nexplanon.
- IUD (intrauterine device) – Lasts for five or ten years, but your provider can remove it if you would like to become pregnant. Paragard is a non-hormonal IUD, and Mirena and Kyleena both work using hormones.
Permanent birth control – Sterilization is birth control for women who don’t want to have children or who don’t want any more. The most common is tubal ligation (“getting your tubes tied”).

After going to another clinic in Cheyenne that didn’t treat me as a priority, it was a breath of fresh air stepping into Cheyenne Women’s Clinic. The entire staff was amazing, but Dr. Dozier was exceptional. She was kind, patient & answered any questions I had with great detail. I will never not recommend her. I am so pleased with my experience here.
I feel so lucky to have had the doctors at the Women’s Clinic for all three of my deliveries and GYN care. They provide high quality, compassionate, evidenced based care and Cheyenne is lucky to have such a great group!
I absolutely have loved it here! We just finished having our second kiddo and have worked with the vast majority of doctors here and they are all excellent!
Had an absolute amazing experience with the Cheyenne Woman’s Clinic during my first pregnancy. They did their best to accommodate my labor desires and made me feel as comfortable as can be. My husband appreciated how they took care of me, and now we’re going back with our second pregnancy! Highly recommend.
All of my appointments I’ve attended through the Women’s Clinic have been amazing the nurses and doctors have been lots of help throughout my whole pregnancy with lots of advice and support, I love every person from there they definitely are a welcoming and loving place!
