Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe that every woman in Evanston has the right to control their reproductive health. This is why we offer hormonal contraceptives as one of our birth control solutions. Hormonal contraceptives range from pills, patches, injections to vaginal rings and each offers a different level of convenience and effectiveness. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals provides personalized consultations to guide you in choosing which method best fits your lifestyle and reproductive goals.
Not all women are ready for permanent methods of birth control or desire frequent maintenance related to other forms. For these reasons, our clinic also provides long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), including intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implantable rods. Despite being based out-of-town, our dedication extends to providing comprehensive services for women in Evanston who prefer worry-free protection with less need for tracking since LARCs can last between three and ten years.
While many contraceptive options focus on hormones or long-term procedures, at the Womens Health Group Chicago we understand this does not suit everyone’s needs or beliefs around contraception. That’s why barrier methods are readily available for residents in Evanston seeking temporary yet effective contraceptive procedures that prevent sperm from meeting an egg during intercourse.
When it comes time for making decisive steps regarding family planning, consider discussing permanent birth control options with experts from Womens Health Group Chicago. Available surgical options such as tubal ligation provide peace of mind by effectively preventing future pregnancies while letting you maintain your normal hormone levels unlike other contraceptive measures like pills or IUDs.
At those times where standard routine birth control methods fail or are neglected, Womens Health Group Chicago offers emergency contraception options to women in Evanston. Available either as pills or devices inserted into the uterus by a medical professional, emergency contraceptives mitigate unplanned pregnancies if used within best-practice timeframes following unprotected sex.
Understanding your body’s natural cycle equips you with another line of defense against unwanted pregnancy. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer education sessions on fertility awareness methods (FAMs) that guide women in tracking their menstrual cycles and identifying fertile days to avoid unprotected intercourse. These natural contraceptive techniques empower you to take further control over your reproductive health safely without the need for artificial hormones or devices.

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.
