Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we take pride in empowering women to have control over their reproductive health. We specialize in providing a variety of contraceptive options, including hormonal contraceptives. These include birth control pills, patches and vaginal rings among others. Our experienced team of OBGYNs will guide you through the ins and outs of each method, making sure you understand how they work, potential benefits and side effects to help you make an informed choice.
Moving beyond temporary protection, the Womens Health Group Chicago also offers long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC). This category includes intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants that can provide effective contraception for years at a time offering many advantages including being entirely worry-free after setup. We discuss your health history with you first before guiding you on whether this could be the best fit option based on individual circumstances and preferences.
Should long-term commitment not feel like a suitable path for your needs or should hormonal methods appear intimidating due to possible side effects – fear not! Here in Chatham, our womens health clinic also provides barrier methods of birth control which include condoms, diaphragms & cervical caps catered exclusively towards females ensuring protection against unwanted pregnancy while also being devoid of any risk to hormone stability within one’s body.
For those who confidently enjoy present family dynamic without interest in adding new members – permanent birth control procedures are available from experts equipped at Women’s Health Group Chicago as well! It’s crucial acknowledgment that such decision isn’t lightly taken hence we promise patient education about potential risks & benefits alongside psychological support throughout whole process if this option is sought after.
Unexpected situations may occur where you might need a plan B. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in giving all women access to emergency contraception. Options like morning-after pills and copper IUDs are promptly available at our clinic so as not to compromise control over your reproductive health. We’re keen on keeping our processes confidential and accessible for ease of mind.
Not everyone is actively seeking prevention from becoming pregnant – at times it’s quite the opposite! Thus, understanding one’s fertility can be crucial towards conceiving when timing matters most. That’s why we offer services around fertility awareness methods (FAMs) here in Chatham related to tracking menstrual cycles & gauging peak ovulation periods; an entirely natural approach that helps align intent with nature while avoiding use of artificial contraceptives completely.

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.

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.
