Skip to content At the Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer our patients a large selection of hormonal contraceptives to meet their individual needs and preferences. Hormonal contraception is highly effective in preventing pregnancy by suppressing ovulation. Our dedicated medical professionals will help you navigate through various options such as birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings and injections while taking into account your lifestyle choices and potential side effects.
Harnessing cutting-edge technology for long-term family planning can be achieved with Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) methods. These can prevent pregnancies for months or even years without any action needed after insertion; examples include intrauterine devices (IUDs) or subdermal implants. If you live in the Lower West Side area and want safe, hassle-free contraception, trust us at Womens Health Group Chicago to provide expert advice on LARCs tailor-made to suit your unique requirements.
We pride ourselves in offering comprehensive birth control services including barrier methods which physically block sperm from reaching an egg during intercourse. With condoms offering dual protection against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, other contraceptive devices like diaphragms are also available for those seeking alternatives under this category. Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, we strive to ensure you have access to dependable strategies that work best for your reproductive health situation.
If you resolutely do not wish to bear children again or ever contemplate it permanently down the line then permanent birth control might be right up your alley — considered the most certain way of preventing unwanted pregnancies. At our clinic located conveniently near Lower West Side neighborhood we specialize in sterilization procedures – tubal ligation and vasectomy – providing top tier healthcare facilities alongside empathetic counseling that lets you make informed decisions about your family planning goals.
Accidents happen, which is why emergency contraception options are imperative to have available. These can be used after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to prevent unwanted pregnancies in a pinch. Our competent professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago will guide you through surefire methods like morning-after pills and copper IUDs ensuring that even in stressful scenarios, our patients feel secure and relieved knowing they’ve got this leverage.
For those committed to understanding their bodies more deeply and navigating around natural cycles for birth control, the fertility awareness method might prove fruitful. Our medical practitioners will equip you with comprehensive knowledge on techniques such as tracking menstrual cycles, observing changes in body temperature and monitoring cervical mucus – so that sexual activity can be adjusted accordingly during fertile periods. Feel empowered by the choices on offer at Women’s Health Group Chicago while taking strides toward conscious reproduction carefully coordinated with your health objectives.

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.
