Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of reliable and effective contraceptive methods. That’s why we proudly offer hormonal contraceptives as one way for women to take control of their reproductive health. Hormonal contraceptives include options like birth control pills, patches, shots or vaginal rings all designed to prevent pregnancy by disrupting the regular cycle of hormone production in a woman’s body. They are an excellent option if you want something easy-to-use with high effectiveness rates.
For those looking for longer term solutions that require less daily thought but provide maximum protection from pregnancy, consider our long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). These can remain effective for several years at a time and can be easily removed whenever you decide it is time to have children. The LARCs offered here at our clinic in Morgan Park include IUDs and implants which are both over 99% efficient at preventing unplanned pregnancies.
In addition to hormonal and long-acting reversible contraceptives, Womens Health Group Chicago also provides barrier method options. These work by physically blocking sperm from reaching an egg during intercourse thereby reducing chances of fertilization occurring. From diaphragms and cervical caps to condoms and sponges, we’ve got many types tailored towards your individual needs and comfort.
Maybe you’re completely certain about not wanting any more children in future? We appreciate that every woman has unique needs when it comes to planning her family size or deciding on childlessness – hence we cater permanent birth control options too! Known medically as sterilization procedures such as tubal ligation or Essure implant they offer surety without anxiety as they ensure permanent contraception thus guarding against unexpected pregnancies forever!
Unexpected situations and contraceptive failures do happen from time to time. But there’s no need for panic! Womens Health Group Chicago offers emergency contraception options in Morgan Park as well–pills or copper IUD—to help prevent pregnancy post unprotected intercourse or if your regular contraceptive failed. It’s always good knowing you have an extra layer of protection when it comes to unexpected incidents.
Perhaps hormonal, barrier methods or long-term reversibles don’t sound quite like the right fit? No worries! We’re also experts at teaching Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs). Generally with this natural approach, you’ll learn how to track your menstrual cycles and identify other body changes that signal fertile periods so you can plan accordingly whether your goal is prevention or conception. Keep note; these methods require a strong commitment and ongoing monitoring but offer freedom from synthetic 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.
