IUD vs. Implant vs. Pill: Finding the Right Birth Control for Your Lifestyle

Birth control isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s about matching your lifestyle, health, and preferences. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help you choose a method that fits you, not the other way around.

The Pill
✔ Great for cycle control
✔ Easy to start/stop
✔ Must be taken daily
Best for women who want predictable periods and don’t mind routine.

The IUD (Hormonal or Copper)
✔ Lasts 3–10 years
✔ Extremely effective
✔ “Set it and forget it” method
Great for women who want low-maintenance protection.

The Implant (Nexplanon)
✔ Lasts 3 years
✔ Contains only progestin
✔ Quick procedure
Best for women wanting long-acting, reversible birth control without estrogen.

How to choose:

  • Hate remembering pills? → IUD or implant

  • Want lighter periods? → Hormonal IUD or pill

  • Want hormone-free? → Copper IUD

  • Need acne control? → Certain pills

Your life is unique — your contraception should be, too.
