Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive care for every stage of a woman’s life. One key area of focus is contraception and family planning. For women interested in Hormonal Contraceptives, our professional staff will guide you through the process. From birth control pills to patches, injections and vaginal rings, hormonal contraceptives are popular due to their high effectiveness rates and reversibility upon discontinuation.
The Womens Health Group Chicago also offers Long-Acting Reversible contraceptives (LARCs), which require little action after initial placement and can prevent pregnancy for years at a time. These options include intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implantable devices like Nexplanon that go under the skin on the upper arm. Our compassionate team in Darien provides services including counseling about LARC use, insertion, monitoring for side effects, removal when necessary.
Getting acquainted with barrier methods? Look no further than Women’s Health Group Chicago! Barrier methods include diaphragms or cervical caps with spermicide as well as male or female condoms.
We employ experienced professionals who will help you understand how these work effectively by preventing direct contact between sperm and egg during sex in order to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
For those women who have completed their families or decided not to bear children, the Womens Health Group Chicago offers permanent birth control options such as tubal ligation or “essure,” an outpatient procedure involving placing small coils into the fallopian tubes via hysteroscopy resulting in scar tissue that prevents pregnancies from occurring.
In case of unprotected intercourse or failure of contraceptive method used earlier, emergency contraception provides a reliable solution to prevent any unwanted pregnancy. Women’s Health Group Chicago is dedicated to equipping you with the right information and providing solutions such as morning-after pills or IUD placement that suits your needs.
For those not interested in hormone-based birth control options, Womens Health Group Chicago recognizes Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs) as an alternative to traditional methods of contraceptives. Our experienced staff can offer advice on period tracking systems and help instruct in this natural form of family planning by recognizing signs of fertility throughout menstrual cycles.

There are many different types of birth control available, including:
The most effective type of birth control is the one that you will use consistently and correctly. All birth control methods are less effective if they are not used correctly.
However, LARC methods are generally considered to be the most effective types of birth control because they are long-lasting and require no daily or monthly action from you.
Every type of birth control has different side effects. Some common side effects of birth control include:
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.
If you have any other questions about birth control, please talk to your doctor. They can help you choose the right type of birth control for you and provide you with information on how to use it correctly.
