Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that every woman’s body is unique and thus requires individualized care. Our range of hormonal contraceptives provides you with flexibility and peace of mind in your family planning journey. Preventing pregnancy by influencing your hormone levels, these options include pills, patches, vaginal rings, injections and implants. These methods are specifically designed to inhibit ovulation or thicken cervical mucus to prevent the sperm from reaching the egg.
Our patients in Wheaton can opt for long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) for worry-free birth control solutions that require minimal maintenance over a longer term period. LARCS refer to intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal contraceptive implants that offer excellent protection against unintended pregnancies without needing daily attention. They work continuously once placed in or on your body by our highly skilled medical staff at Womens Health Group Chicago.
Another advantageous option available at our clinic are barrier methods which physically obstruct sperm from meeting an egg during intercourse. These include male condoms, female condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps among others commonly used contraception methods. As renowned specialists within this field across Wheaton region, we guide you through proper usage for maximum efficacy.
For those who have made a clear decision not to have children in future for whatever reason – be it personal preference or health-related matters – permanent birth control could be just what you’re looking forward to exploring further into simpler family planning decisions here at Womens Health Group Chicago.
In times of emergency such as failed contraception or unprotected sex instances occur unbearably often when less desired whilst leading towards possible conception worries where emergency contraception solutions provide a ray of hope. Our compassionate professionals at the Health Group Chicago provides timely aid with tools like morning-after pills to offer an additional safety net against unexpected pregnancy.
Fertility awareness methods allow women to harness their understanding of individual menstrual cycles by observing natural fertility signs thereby preventing or even planning for conception. When practiced correctly, these methods can be surprisingly effective and beneficial giving you more control over your reproductive future here in Wheaton serviced by Womens Health Group Chicago. We stand ready to guide you towards mastering this method tailored specifically according to respective personal circumstances.

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. 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.
