5 Reasons to Visit Family Planning Services

1. General Information
   
   Whether you need help with a current pregnancy, conceiving, or just have questions about all what getting pregnant and being pregnant entails, a women's health clinic with a focus in family planning services can help. According to cdc.gov, family planning services are meant to "provide education, counseling, and medical services [in order to improve] the reproductive health of the U.S. population." This means providing informational materials and counseling in regards to planning for your future family.
    
2. Medical Services
   
   One of the most important aspects of family planning services is to provide treatment and medicine for your health conditions. Did you know that cysts often go away without treatment within six to eight weeks? The body is extraordinary when it comes to conceiving a child.
   
   Your past or present health conditions may not be as concerning as you think they are. However, if you do need medical treatment, family planning services covers everything from sexually transmitted diseases to everyday gynecological services.
    
3. Basic Infertility Treatment
   
   While a family planning services center may not be equipped to treat difficult and extreme cases of infertility, they can help you determine if the months you've been trying to conceive are problematic. A gynecologist can help you understand why it may take months to get pregnant for the first time. As a source of information, family planning services can recommend further options if it is taking you longer than normal conceive.
    
4. Birth Control
   
   The CDC website states "that 49% of all pregnancies are unintended." Planning for your future family may mean waiting until you are financially and emotionally ready for a child. By providing contraceptives to men and women, these facilities help to keep you in your best health until you are ready for your family.
    
5. Safe Pregnancies
   
   Perhaps one of the greatest reasons to visit a women's health clinic is to monitor and improve the health of your growing baby. Furthermore, many of these facilities include a maternity center so you can deliver in a familiar and comfortable place. Family planning services help to ensure mother and baby are healthy and getting the nutrients they need throughout pregnancy. With regularly scheduled check-ups you can rest assured that you will reach the best part of your pregnancy: the baby!
