Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of reliable and comfortable birth control. That’s why we are proud to offer a variety of hormonal contraceptive options for women in our community. These methods, which include birth control pills, patches, injections, and vaginal rings, work by regulating hormone levels to prevent pregnancy effectively. Each method has its own unique benefits tailored to fit your lifestyle and health needs; adroitly suggested after a thorough diagnostic routine at our facility.
Modern reproductive health practices call for more flexible contraception options that can adapt to life’s changes – this is where long-acting reversible contraceptives or LARCs stand out. Our Cornell-targeted services feature top-grade intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal implants amongst other innovative solutions. With these viable measures offering lasting protection ranging from 3 up to even 10 years depending on the chosen option—controlling family planning becomes entirely manageable.
While most types of contraception target internal processes within the body, barrier methods provide physical prevention means against unwanted pregnancies. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we supply standard as well as specialty female condoms in addition to diaphragms and cervical caps—all designed with user comfort and maximum efficacy factors considered critically. Remember that correctly used barrier methods not only prevent pregnancies but also drastically lower sexually transmitted infection risks—an admirable dual-functionality aspect indeed.
For those deciding on an end point for their childbearing phases yet wishing for continued intimate lifestyles without fears of undesired conception scenarios—we stand ready with permanent contraceptive solutions such as tubal ligation or Essure procedures under expert guidance here at Women’s Health Group Chicago.
Unexpected situations sometimes arise leaving a need for immediate pregnancy prevention measures. Looking beyond regular contraception, we offer various emergency solutions such as morning-after pills and IUDs effective within five days post unprotected intercourse. We believe in prompt, accurate responses to maintain your peace of mind, our clinic takes it upon itself to equip the women empowering Cornell with reliable contingencies.
Knowledge is power. Many proactive women appreciate understanding their fertility cycles towards natural contraceptive management—either trying for or avoiding pregnancies. Our clinic offers encouragement and resources in that regard by providing necessary materials and professional advice on tracking menstrual cycles accurately through methods like body temperature monitoring plus evaluating changes in cervical mucus states extensively. Let’s journey conscientiously together towards creating desired family dynamics fostering a healthier community here at Cornell!

The best way to choose the right type of birth control for you is to talk to your doctor. They can help you weigh the risks and benefits of each method and choose the one that is best for your individual needs.
Yes, most women can use birth control, even if they have a medical condition. However, some types of birth control may not be right for women with certain medical conditions. It is important to talk to your doctor about your medical history and any medications you are taking before starting any type of birth control.
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant while using birth control, but it is very rare. All birth control methods have a different risk of failure. The most effective birth control methods, such as LARC methods, have a very low risk of failure.
If you think your birth control may have failed, you should take an emergency contraceptive pill (also known as the morning-after pill) as soon as possible. Emergency contraceptive pills can help to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if your birth control fails.
Birth control is available from a variety of sources, including your doctor, Planned Parenthood, and other family planning clinics. Some types of birth control, such as condoms and spermicide, are available over-the-counter. Other types of birth control, such as the pill, patch, and ring, require a prescription from your doctor.
