Looking for long-term contraception options (IUD, Nexplanon)

Choosing a long-acting reversible contraceptive is a big decision. Whether you're considering an IUD or a subdermal Nexplanon implant, you deserve personalized guidance from a provider who understands your unique hormonal profile, health history, and life goals. At Renew Health & Wellness, Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP approaches contraceptive care with the same integrative perspective she brings to all of her patients. Her goal is to ensure your contraceptive choice supports your overall hormonal health - not disrupts it.

Before any placement, Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP conducts a thorough pre-placement evaluation. This review includes:

• Your complete hormonal picture

• Your menstrual history and current symptoms

• Any prior experience with hormonal or non-hormonal contraception

This step is important because progestin-containing options carry real hormonal effects that can vary significantly from patient to patient. Understanding your full picture helps ensure the right fit.

Not every contraceptive works the same way for every woman. For women who are sensitive to synthetic progestins - those who have experienced mood changes, low libido, or other hormonal side effects with hormonal contraception - the copper IUD is a highly effective, entirely non-hormonal option worth discussing.

For women whose symptoms may actually benefit from progestogenic support, options like the Mirena IUD, Kyleena IUD, or Nexplanon are evaluated based on their specific hormonal needs.

Comfort and care are a priority throughout the placement process. Placement is performed in-office by Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP with full attention to patient comfort. This includes:

• Cervical preparation to ease the procedure

• Local anesthesia to minimize discomfort

• Expert, attentive hands throughout

Follow-up support is built directly into your care plan. This allows Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP to monitor placement success, track your symptom response, and make any needed adjustments in the weeks following insertion.

At Renew Health & Wellness, your contraceptive choice is never one-size-fits-all. Every decision is made with full clinical information, hormonal awareness, and deep respect for your reproductive autonomy.
