Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that women’s health needs are unique and personal. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of hormonal contraceptives to cater to different lifestyles, bodies, and preferences. These include birth control pills, patches, shots or injections, vaginal rings – all designed to prevent pregnancy by regulating your hormone levels. Our team of experienced healthcare practitioners will guide you through the options available and help determine what method best suits your individual needs.
Thinking long term about your reproductive health? We can help with that too! Take advantage of our Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC) services such as intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants under the skin of your arm – effectively preventing pregnancies for years at a time without needing frequent attention or renewal. The great thing about LARCs is they’re ‘set it & forget it,’ enhancing convenience for those with hectic lives in Dolton – but also reversible should circumstances change.
Barrier methods remain as tried-and-true solutions for many women looking for immediate yet non-permanent protection against unwanted pregnancies while also handing over control when needed most. These contraceptive techniques create physical barriers between sperm and ovary; including condoms, diaphragms & cervical caps each offering distinct benefits besides contraception such as STI prevention. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we provide educational resources alongside these products enabling informed choices while ensuring safe usage.
For those individuals who have decided not to pursue having children in the future or feel their family size is perfect already – permanent birth control provides peace-of-mind alongside assured results! Here at Women’s Health Group in Chicago – serving even Dolton area – scalable methods like tubal ligation or vasectomy referrals are thoughtfully discussed, planned for and performed – offering long-lasting protection against unintended pregnancies.
In situations where your regular contraceptive method fails or simply if you weren’t using any birth control during intercourse – time-sensitive steps can still be taken! Emergency contraception services from Women’s Health Group Chicago, which could include “morning-after” pills or specific models of IUDs – instilled post-coitus–can help prevent pregnancy. Remember, though effective these aren’t meant as standard go-to birth-control approaches but provide a critical ‘safety-net’ in case primary prevention measures either fail or aren’t implemented.
Interested in aligning your contraceptive methods with natural cycles? Our fertility awareness program may fit the bill! This approach involves monitoring various indicators in your body to track when you’re most fertile so you can plan accordingly. Incorporating lifestyle changes according to this ebb & flow pattern offers an alternative role for self-awareness plays even beyond merely preventing unplanned pregnancies. It allows women a deeper connection with their bodies and their health at large and at Women’s Health Group Chicago we take pride enabling such informed participatory choices.
