frequently asked questions by topic
Is this visit only for Black women?
view answerKyndred was created by and for Black women and centers Black women’s experiences, but our care is open to others who feel aligned with our mission and values. Our clinical approach, education, and community spaces are designed with the realities of Black women’s health in mind.
Can you help if I’m coming off birth control?
view answerAbsolutely. We can talk through what to expect as your cycle returns, how to support your hormones, skin, and mood, and how to prevent pregnancy (if that’s a goal) using other methods. If you’re stopping birth control to try to conceive, we can also discuss cycle tracking, timing, and when to consider additional fertility support.
What can I talk about during a Contraceptive Counseling Visit?
view answerAnything connected to birth control, your cycles, or your sexual and reproductive health. This can include starting, stopping, or changing a method; side effects you’re worried about; how birth control interacts with conditions like PCOS, migraines, high blood pressure, or mood; and how it’s affecting your sex life, energy, or skin.
Do I need a diagnosis or referral to book contraceptive counseling?
view answerNo. You don’t need a diagnosis or referral to book a Contraceptive Counseling Visit. This visit is designed to help you explore options and next steps, even if you’re not sure where to start or what’s “wrong.”
