At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of giving women full control over their reproductive health. Thus, we offer a comprehensive array of hormonal contraceptives that include pills, patches, injections, and vaginal rings. These methods work by altering the hormone levels in your body so as to prevent ovulation and hence conception. They are highly effective when used correctly and can also help regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate period pain. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals will be more than happy to counsel you on the best option based on your lifestyle needs and medical history.
For those looking for long-term peace-of-mind, Women’s Health Group Chicago presents Long-acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). This category includes IUDs (Intrauterine Devices) & implantable contraceptives; both are capable of providing several years’ worth of protection against unintended pregnancy with minimal maintenance required from your end besides routine check-ups with your doctor. One significant advantage is their reversibility: fertility returns swiftly after removal.
If you’re residing in Ellsworth and searching for birth control strategies that don’t involve hormones or surgical procedures – look no further! At Women’s Health Group Chicago we support all woman through advice on traditional Barrier Method contraceptives like diaphragms, caps/cervical shields or condoms – spermicidal or otherwise. These physically obstruct the sperm from reaching the egg thereby preventing fertilization. Remember to combine barrier methods with spermicides for maximum effectiveness.
Women’s Health Group Chicago also caters to those who have completed their family sizes or choose not to have children at all by offering Permanent Birth Control solutions such as sterilization via tubal ligation or occlusion. These are one-time procedures that provide lifetime protection against pregnancy and let you enjoy your sexuality without constantly worrying about contraception. Note that these methods are irreversible and should be chosen after thorough consideration.
Accidents happen, which is why Women’s Health Group Chicago has solutions for those unexpected moments with Emergency Contraceptives or ‘morning-after pills’. They offer a last-minute option to women who have had unprotected sex or experienced contraceptive failure but wish to avoid an unplanned pregnancy. Rest assured our team is available in such critical situations, providing timely advice and assistance to the women of Ellsworth always.
Lastly, for those interested in natural birth control options, we impart training on Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs). These techniques involve understanding and monitoring your menstrual cycle closely in order to identify fertile days when chances of conception are highest; abstaining from sexual activity during this window can prevent unwanted pregnancies. Whether it’s tracking basal body temperature or examining cervical mucus – our healthcare team will empower you to understand your fertility cues better.
