Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that choosing a birth control method can feel confusing and overwhelming. That’s why our dedicated team of specialists are here every step of the way to provide expert guidance on Hormonal Contraceptives. These methods work by regulating hormones in your body to prevent ovulation and subsequently pregnancy. They include options like birth control pills, patches, injections, and vaginal rings. Whether you’re new to hormonal contraceptives or have been using them for years, our experienced healthcare providers will help devise a plan tailored to suit your health needs.
Our clinic is also adept at providing long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC). LARCs such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants are highly effective forms of contraception with a low failure rate. This option offers longevity – one single procedure can protect you from unintended pregnancies for several years! If you reside in Glen Ellyn or its surrounding areas, our competent clinicians can discuss the benefits of this alternative while ensuring your comfort through all procedures.
If you prefer non-hormonal methods of contraception, barrier methods might be an ideal consideration. Our professionals here at Womens Health Group Chicago skillfully provide services around diaphragms, condoms (both male and female), cervical caps, contraceptive sponges among others. Not only do these assist in preventing pregnancies but many also offer protection against sexually transmitted infections—a double advantage ensuring total wellbeing
For those who choose not to conceive permanently—look no further than us! Here at Womens Health Group Chicago we care about respecting all reproductive decisions including permanent birth control methods like tubal ligation or vasectomy referrals for partners where relevant . With thorough consultations beforehand, we stand alongside you ensuring all doubts are cleared and that your decision is an assuredly informed one.
Mishaps happen but rest-assured, Womens Health Group Chicago can help with emergency contraception too. Whether it’s a condom failure or unusually late menstrual cycle—we’ve got you covered with over-the-counter options like morning-after pills or prescription-only IUDs to prevent an unintended pregnancy. Remember—it’s crucial not miss the small window of time for these methods hence contact us without delay in such emergencies!
Interested in natural contraceptive alternatives? We provide consultation on fertility awareness methods (FAM) where one learns about tracking ovulation cycles to either avoid or plan pregnancies accordingly. Our healthcare providers would instruct you on correctly maintaining ‘cycle logs’ while explaining signs indicating fertile days—helping further your understanding on this personal and non-intrusive birth control method!

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.
