Skip to content Womens Health Group Chicago deeply understands that hormonal birth control presents an excellent choice for many women. Our skilled team of healthcare professionals is well-versed with a broad spectrum of hormonal contraceptives such as pills, patches, and vaginal rings, providing our patients with personalized care to meet their individual needs. We endeavor to thoroughly guide you through the benefits and possible side effects associated with these methods so you can make an informed decision about your reproductive health.
Our dedication at Womens Health Group Chicago extends beyond ordinary services into long-lasting contraceptive solutions like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants. These options offer extended periods of contraception ranging from three years up to ten or more; all while consistently maintaining a high effectiveness rate above 99% which allows peace of mind for individuals in Calumet Park who are considering this route.
The importance of choice cannot be overstated when it comes to achieving control over one’s fertility journey. This philosophy has driven us at Womens Health Group Chicago to include barrier methods among our wide range of birth control offerings. From diaphragms, females condoms, cervical copes, sponges and more widely-used male condoms we strive to provide multiple safe options that reduce risks without hormone-based interventions.
We realize that some people seek definite solutions after completing their families or due personal choices surrounding reproduction capabilities. For women set on permanent birth control pathways; tubal ligation surgery provided by the proficient surgeons is what we recommend here at Womens Health Group Chicago. We aim for seamless procedures followed by comprehensive post-operative care ensuring you achieve optimal outcomes stress-free.
Unfortunate circumstances may sometimes necessitate alternatives outside routine plans. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we discreetly provide emergency contraception options to prevent a pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Our care providers are committed to accommodating these unique needs reassuringly and empathetically amid any stressful situations.
Understanding the natural cyclic alterations in your body can be empowering when used as a form of birth control – an approach known as Fertility Awareness Method(FAMs). By equipping you with knowledge about the female fertility cycle along with clinical guidance, our health professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago promote this organic method for women who prefer non-intrusive and hormone-free ways to monitor their reproductive status.

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.
