Skip to content 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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.

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.
If you have any other questions about birth control, please talk to your doctor. They can help you choose the right type of birth control for you and provide you with information on how to use it correctly.
