Birth Control in Forest View

Birth Control Services in Forest View Illinois

Hormonal Contraceptives

At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize your reproductive health care by providing an array of contraceptive methods to meet your changing needs. Among these are Hormonal Contraceptives, medications that work in various ways to prevent ovulation and fertilization. These include options like birth control pills, patches, injections or rings that contain either a combination of estrogen and progestin or progestin alone. They have proved effective for many women while also regulating menstrual cycles and reducing the chance of developing certain types of cancers.

Long-acting Reversible Contraceptives

Advancements in medical science have led to long-lasting but reversible contraception solutions known as Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC). Comprising primarily IUDs and implants, these contraceptives present an efficient alternative when you wish for extended protection against pregnancy yet maintain future fertility possibilities. At our clinic serving Forest View area residents with excellence, we support individuals assessing which LARC method is right based on individual conditions and personal preferences.

Barrier Methods

Are you searching for non-hormonal options? The Womens Health Group Chicago offers Barrier Methods – various devices designed to stop sperm from reaching an egg such as diaphragms, cervical caps accompanied with spermicides; male/female condoms being common ones too. Besides preventing unintended pregnancies they offer added benefit: some can significantly reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Permanent Birth Control Options

For those who have decided not to add more children to their families or prefer embracing childless life permanently, Womens Health Group Chicago provides professional consultations regarding Permanent Birth Control solutions like tubal ligation and vasectomy referrals. Our compassionate approach ensures complete understanding so each woman makes informed decisions about her reproductive health.

Emergency Contraception

Accidents happen, but that shouldn’t put your future plans at risk. The Womens Health Group Chicago provides Emergency Contraception services to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Immediately usable options include pills (Plan B One-Step and others) and a copper IUD can be inserted as highly effective emergency contraception within five days of unprotected sex.

Fertility Awareness Methods

An alternative to traditional contraceptives are Fertility Awareness Methods where women learn to recognize the signs of fertility during their menstrual cycles so as avoid intercourse on those fertile days if not ready for conception yet. At our clinic we educate about tracking menstrual cycles, observing changes in body temperatures or cervical mucus indicative of ovulation & other natural signals. We believe everyone should have complete control over their reproductive health.
