What Are My Birth Control Options?
During your yearly well-woman exam or anytime you are thinking about contraceptives, we welcome you to ask Dr. Sodoma about the birth control options we offer. Below is an overview of the main birth control options offered.
Birth control pills
While a less invasive option than some of our other options, it's imperative to remember to take your birth control pill at the same time each day in order for it to remain effective. This is a great option if you're not interested in injections or an implant.
Intrauterine devices
Intrauterine devices, better known as IUDs, are small devices that are placed into the uterus by Dr. Sodoma or another one of our skilled team members. We can do this right in our office, and it only takes a few minutes. One of the benefits of IUDs is that they usually are effective for many years.
Injections
Injectable birth control options are hormone-based medication that is injected about every three months. One of the benefits of this option that we hear from our patients is your menstrual cycle will stop altogether. However, it can take between 9 – 12 months after your last shot to start ovulating again so careful planning is needed if you have specific desires for when you wish to try and get pregnant.
Implants
We also offer implants, such as NEXPLANON, which are inserted into the arm and slowly release hormones. You may be able to see and feel the implant, but with this option, you can have up to three years of birth control. If you decide to conceive before it's time to replace the implant, we can easily remove it at your request.
Life Care For Women Reviews
Best doctor and best staff. They are always available and incredibly knowledgeable. I always recommend them. Incredibly friendly front desk staff as well!
I have to share my happy story with everyone about Dr. Linda Sodoma. I started seeing her October 2022 to discuss my female issues. The moment she walked in the examination room I felt a vibe that I knew right then she was the right doctor for me. She was humble nice and caring, she took the time to listen and answer the questions I asked on every visit, it only got better and better and she always made me comfortable. Fast forward to 12/06/22 to my surgery day. God, know I was scared and most definitely afraid of going under, but once my angel walked in ( Dr. Sodoma ) I knew I was gonna be okay and she reassures me. My mom has always told me growing up there always an angel that watching high and low places, in other words high meaning in heaven where she is now and low meaning on earth meaning Dr. Sodoma. I can’t forget to salute her team in her office because they were fabulous on every visit. Post Op see God will send good people your way when asked and needed and today I needed everything good to come my way to get thur this. Post Op I couldn’t ask for a better nurse. Nurse Tanner at Banner Baybrook in Gilbert he helped out more than he will ever know, he kept me calm when it came to getting my IV started, I had told him my veins were small and that it was always hard for anyone who tried to stick me it would be hard so he went and got the ultra sound machine and bang he got it on the first try, and he answered all my questions so thank you Tanner. Next came the recovery room nurse Charm always made sure I was okay when I would wake up or go back to sleep, everytime my eyes opened she was right there feeding me ice chips until the next time I woke up. Thank you nurse Charm. Last but not least nurse Genny, words can’t express how great she was handing me in my room. I didn’t have to ring for nothing because she was always there like she knew my body also when it was time for me to void along with everything else she was as there, so thank you nurse Genny. God really do answer prayers and today all mine were met. I had to post a review to let everyone know how marvelous Dr. Sodoma and team treated me today like other days. Thanks for everything Dr. Sodoma your patient Dorcas
Wonderful experience that brought so much hope to my situation!
Dr. Sodoma is the best! Terrific Dr plus the entire staff - everyone is always helpful, friendly, and attentive. It’s not just routine care, Dr is interested in your health, catching any issues early, and your quality of life.
Dr. Sodoma was my 2nd opinion and now my first choice moving forward. I was disheartened when I first heard of my situation and a patient recommended I see her doctor-Sodoma. My consult with her was 180 degrees from what I was told from the previous doctor. Sodoma took lead on my operation and the other doctors were excited to work with her postop which felt like further validation that I had chosen the right doctor for my care. A 20 year+ situation is now resolved and I have very little scarring. My body is rejuvenated and I can participate in life more fully.
