Wanting to discuss birth control options or transition off current contraception

Deciding to change your contraceptive method is more than a simple product swap. Whether you are discontinuing oral contraceptives, replacing an existing device, or exploring options that better align with your current reproductive or hormonal goals - these transitions benefit enormously from expert guidance. At Renew Health & Wellness, Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP approaches contraceptive transitions with a full hormonal health perspective, not just the mechanics of switching from one method to another.

Coming off synthetic hormones can significantly shift your hormonal environment. In some cases, it can unmask underlying conditions that were previously suppressed. Women discontinuing combined oral contraceptives may experience a return of:

• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

• Endometriosis

• Thyroid symptoms

Prolonged oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use can also deplete key nutrients - including B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium - that require targeted repletion as part of a well-managed transition.

Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP evaluates your complete hormonal status before and after contraceptive transitions. This allows her to manage the hormonal landscape proactively rather than reactively. Support is also available for women transitioning to non-hormonal options, including education on cycle tracking and fertility awareness methods for those interested in that approach.

For women entering perimenopause whose menopausal symptoms have been masked by hormonal contraception, the transition to bio-identical hormone therapy is planned and executed with careful clinical management. The goal is a seamless experience with no gaps in care.

For women choosing long-acting reversible options, in-office placement of IUDs and Nexplanon is available - performed by Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP with full attention to your comfort and follow-up care.

At Renew Health & Wellness, contraceptive transitions are treated as the meaningful hormonal events they are - with clinical expertise, personalized guidance, and ongoing support every step of the way.
