Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our caring doctors specializing in Gynecology and Obstetrics are staunch advocates for the health rights of women. As part of our commitment to reproductive health access, we offer patients a variety of hormonal contraceptives options. Ranging from birth control pills to patches and vaginal rings, these methods essentially work by regulating hormones to prevent ovulation. Our team ensures that your contraceptive choices cater exclusively to your lifestyle demands and medical requirements.
For those seeking more long-term solutions with less daily attention required, Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC) could be an ideal choice. Options such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or subdermal implants are offered at Womens Health Group Chicago clinic in Douglas. We provide thorough counselling on all aspects of LARCs including benefits and potential side-effects so you can make informed decisions about contraception.
We understand that each woman has unique needs when it comes to birth control which is why we also offer Barrier Method contraceptives. These include popular choices like condoms, diaphragms or cervical caps that primarily function through preventing sperm from reaching the egg. Our expert healthcare providers take ample time discussing with you how each method works in order to find one which feels most comfortable for your individual use.

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.

Birth control is available from a variety of sources, including your doctor, Planned Parenthood, and other family planning clinics.
