Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we provide a wide breadth of contraceptive solutions designed for the unique needs of women across our community. Among these is our specialized offering in hormonal contraceptives, which are proven to be highly effective means of preventing pregnancy. These include birth control pills, patches, injections, and vaginal rings—all reliable options which work by regulating hormone levels in your body to prevent ovulation. Regardless if you’re new to hormonal contraception or experienced with its use, our healthcare professionals dedicate themselves to guide patients through determining the right style and dosage suitable for their health profiles.
In case you’re searching for longer-term prevention without daily intervention, Women’s Health Group Chicago provides access to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). Our LARC offerings come chiefly in two forms: intrauterine devices (IUDs) and under-the-skin implants. Both offer years-long prevention efficacy post-installation whilst maintaining reversibility should you desire conception down the line—practical yet flexible methods prescribed and installed competently within a short visit at one of our clinics.
Alongside hormonal contraceptives and LARCs sits another key service offering from us – barrier methods of contraception. Barrier methods such as diaphragms and condoms are non-hormonal options that provide immediate protection against both unplanned pregnancies as well as sexually transmitted infections when utilized properly. With various types available on hand—the selection process can prove overwhelming. But fear not! At Women’s Health Group Chicago we aim to make this method understandable, outlining best practices during consultations conducted in a comfortable environment that facilitates open dialogue about your sexual health.
For women who’ve fulfilled their child-bearing desires, Women’s Health Group Chicago delivers consultative and procedural services for those exploring permanent birth control options. These involve procedures like tubal ligation (commonly known as “getting your tubes tied”) which provide a near-certain guarantee against pregnancy. Our compassionate staff ensure that patients fully understand the decision ahead of time by providing in-depth counselling on the matter—instilling clarification and peace of mind about this irreversible commitment.
Incidents such as neglected contraception or contraceptive failure do occur—and our clinic stands prepared to assist during these critical moments. A core aspect of our practice is providing emergency contraception solutions, available to you within 72 hours from an unprotected intercourse incident maximizing potential effectiveness right when you need it.
Lastly, for women desiring natural means of controlling conception—our fertility awareness methods counseling takes center stage—an age-old process through tracking menstrual cycles to predict ovulation periods minus medical intervention. The professionals at Women’s Health Group Chicago can equip you with necessary education and tools towards understanding your fertile bodily patterns—all pointing towards empowerment over your reproductive planning journey.

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.
