Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, it is our belief that women deserve an abundance of reliable birth control options so they can choose the solution most suitable for their lifestyles. Hormonal contraceptives remain a popular choice due to their efficiency and ease-of-use. Pills, patches or injections are all tailored solutions we provide to ensure your body’s hormones work in favor of preventing pregnancies. We make these choices possible with patient support, comprehensive counseling, and accessible prescriptions.
Our dedicated team not only provides temporary solutions but also alternatives like Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC). These include Intrauterine Devices and implants; they’re ideal for women who wish to delay having children without resorting to permanent measures. Our experienced medical experts offer gentle insertion procedures carried within our serene facilities followed by guidance on handling potential side effects while ensuring overall optimal health.
Womens Health Group Chicago recognizes that at times the best method involves physical barriers such as condoms, diaphragms or cervical caps. Among others benefits associated with barrier methods is protection against sexually transmitted infections which cannot be provided by hormonal-based contraceptives. Let us help you select the best fit from a variety of safe and approved brands after discussing pros and cons around each option along with proper usage techniques.
In many circumstances, some women decide definitively that they do not want any more children –ever! Here come Permanent Birth Control Solutions into consideration! Options range from tubal ligation (“tube tying”) to hysterectomy procedures, performed safely at our clinic in Chicago by skilled OBGYNs equipped with years long experience under their belts working towards accomplishing your personal family goals.
We understand that accidents do happen, which is why Womens Health Group Chicago offers emergency contraception options. This service includes morning-after pills or copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) usable up to 5 days after unprotected sex- the sooner utilized the better! Each method involves an in-depth discussion between you and your OBGYN to select what suits best while prioritizing your safety and well-being.
For those balancing natural methods with family planning needs, Fertility Awareness Methods can be an excellent solution. Through guidance from our professionals, women learn about timing their menstrual cycles or observing bodily changes like basal body temperature rise indicating ovulation. With us at Womens Health Group Chicago supporting this journey of monitoring reproductive patterns attentively, we ensure these methods are just as effective for preventing pregnancies.

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.

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.
