Skip to content Welcome to Womens Health Group Chicago, the premier choice for women’s healthcare in Forest Park where you are more than just a patient. We understand that choosing birth control can be difficult as everyone has unique needs and circumstances. Our team is knowledgeable about hormonal contraceptives—one of the most common forms of birth control options preferred by many women today. These range from oral pills, patches, vaginal rings to injectable contraceptives—all designed carefully considering your health history and lifestyle choices.
Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implantable rods are another option we offer at Womens Health Group Chicago. LARCs are an effective, convenient solution for those who want long-term protection without daily maintenance since they can prevent pregnancy for years once in place. These methods give you peace of mind knowing they’re consistently working without any action required on your end—we take care of all the insertion and removal procedures when needed.
For individuals who have specific health conditions or cannot use hormonal methods due to personal reasons, our clinic also offers barrier methods such as diaphragms, condoms or contraceptive sponges; providing excellent contraception while reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These preventative solutions actively block sperm’s access to eggs—providing immediate contraceptive coverage during each use.
Childbirth might not be part of every woman’s journey—that’s why close consideration is given towards offering permanent birth control options like tubal ligation at the Women’s Health Group Chicago within Forest Park boundaries for women seeking surefire ways to avoid unplanned pregnancies permanently. We provide safe and successful surgical procedures that pose minimal risks but promising maximum returns—a life free of pregnancy concerns.
Unforeseen events can happen—making effective emergency contraception a vital component of our clinic’s services. We guide women on the different types of emergency birth control options, like morning-after-pills and certain types of IUDs, designed for preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Our caring professionals are always ready to discuss these time-sensitive solutions in a warm, non-judgmental environment.
Awareness equals empowerment—that’s why we recommend Fertility Awareness methods to any woman seeking natural family planning approaches. These involve tracking your menstrual cycle and understanding changes in your body at various points—all aimed towards identifying the fertile days when you’re likely to conceive or avoiding those days to prevent pregnancy. Womens Health Group Chicago excels not only in providing accurate information but also supports each patient through their journey of personal health discovery.

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.
However, LARC methods are generally considered to be the most effective types of birth control because they are long-lasting and require no daily or monthly action from you.
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.
