Contraception & Family Planning

At Asquith Doctors, experienced general practitioners (GPs) provide confidential and professional contraception and family planning consultations for patients across Asquith and the Upper North Shore.

These appointments are designed to help individuals and couples make informed choices about reproductive health - whether selecting contraception, preparing for pregnancy, or managing fertility concerns. Each consultation is grounded in evidence-based care, with information tailored to each patient’s age, health, and lifestyle.

What Is Contraception and Family Planning?

Contraception and family planning involve understanding reproductive choices and choosing safe, effective options that fit individual circumstances. By consulting a GP in Asquith, patients can access balanced advice on a full range of contraceptive options, from short-term to longer-term methods.

GPs can also assist with fertility and pre-pregnancy planning, discussing topics such as nutrition, supplements, and the timing of conception. These conversations often include education about cycle tracking, healthy weight, and managing chronic conditions before trying to conceive.

The goal of family planning is not only to prevent unplanned pregnancy but also to ensure patients can plan parenthood at the right time for them — physically, emotionally, and medically.

What to Expect During Your GP Appointment

A contraception or family planning appointment with an Asquith Doctors GP provides a comfortable, confidential space to discuss all aspects of reproductive health.

The consultation usually begins with a review of medical history, current medications, and reproductive goals. The GP then outlines the contraceptive options available and helps select the most appropriate method. Where relevant, a short health check such as blood pressure measurement may be completed.

If a procedural contraceptive option is chosen, the GP will explain what it involves and may arrange a follow-up visit. For patients preparing for pregnancy, the appointment can include lifestyle advice, fertility planning, and recommendations for pre-conception screening.

These appointments are designed to be practical, informative, and reassuring. No referral is required, and bookings can be made online or by calling the clinic directly.
