Professional contraception advice in Almere

As a woman, your fertility spans a significant portion of your life. Naturally, you seek control over your reproductive health, allowing you the freedom to choose when to conceive. Many women opt for contraception to gain a sense of control over their menstrual cycles or to alleviate specific female symptoms.

As midwives, our expertise lies in understanding the intricacies of the female body. It's only natural that we extend our support to include guidance on contraception—assisting with selection, prescription, and even placement when necessary. Recognising that every woman's body is unique, and each individual's preferences vary, we encourage open discussions to explore the array of contraceptive options available. Whether you're a young woman at 16, far from considering motherhood, a new mother navigating postpartum choices, or someone who has decided not to have children (after all), our practicewelcomes you with open arms.

During the final stages of pregnancy and during your last maternity visit, we take the time to explore different contraceptive options with you. Together, we discuss your preferences, expectations, and any medical considerations, providing clear and honest information. Our aim is to empower you to make an informed choice.

For those planning to conceive, initiating a regimen of multivitamins containing folic acid (Folate), vitamin B12, vitamin D, and vitamin C immediately after contraceptive removal is beneficial.

The contraceptive pill, a hormonal method, has several variants on the market with different hormonal compositions. Mainly, there are two categories: the combined pill and the pill without oestrogen. As with any drug, side effects can occur when using the contraceptive pill.
A combination pill includes two hormones: oestrogen and progestogen. Oestrogen regulates the menstrual cycle, while progestogen prevents pregnancy. Most combination pills contain synthetic estrogen, such as ethinylestradiol. However, some contain natural estrogen or prohormones that are converted in the body. In contrast, the minipill contains only progestogen and therefore does not fall under the category of combination pills.

De anticonceptiering, een zachte, flexibele kunststof ring van ongeveer 5 cm groot, wordt ingebracht, vergelijkbaar met het gebruik van een tampon. Het ontwerp is zo gemaakt dat je de ring niet voelt en deze stevig op zijn plaats blijft, zelfs tijdens activiteiten zoals zwemmen of sporten. De ring bevat hormonen die geleidelijk worden afgegeven en via het vaginale slijmvlies in de bloedbaan terechtkomen. Deze gelijkmatige hormoonafgifte voorkomt pieken en zorgt voor effectieve bescherming. Bij stoppen met de ringvormige anticonceptie kun je direct zwanger worden.

The contraceptive rod, also known as the hormone rod, is placed under the skin of your upper arm by a doctor. Thanks to local anaesthesia, you will feel very little of this. The rod is usually not visible because it is on the inside of your arm and constantly releases a low dose of hormones into your body. The hormone rod offers a solution for those who want to rely on contraception for a long time without having to think about it regularly. It remains effective even in case of vomiting or diarrhoea and provides a constant hormone release, minimising hormone fluctuations. Because there is no stop week, you have no control over your period, which can result in changes or the absence of your period. You will experience for yourself how your body reacts to the hormone rod after the Implanon is inserted.

There are two types: the hormonal IUD and the copper IUD. The hormonal IUD contains progestogen, which is gradually released to the uterine wall. The amount of hormone in your blood is lower than with other hormonal contraceptive methods. The hormonal IUD can remain effective for 5 to 8 years, depending on the type and purpose of use. The Copper IUD, unlike the hormonal IUD, the copper IUD contains no hormones, making it suitable for those who cannot or do not want to use hormonal contraception. The copper IUD can protect against pregnancy for up to 5 to 10 years.

Yes, we can also remove your IUD or hormone rod (Implanon).
