Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the need for effective, safe, and easy-to-use birth control. One such method is hormonal contraceptives which come in various forms: pills, patches, vaginal rings or injections. They function by regulating your hormones to prevent ovulation – the release of an egg from the ovaries. Our medical team can help you determine which form best suits your lifestyle and health needs.
If you reside in Hyde Park or surrounding areas and are seeking a long-term but reversible contraceptive strategy, consider our Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) option. This includes intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal implants that operate continuously without daily management. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we also handle their insertion professionally to ensure patient comfort during application.
Barrier methods are another important facet of our clinic’s offerings at Womens Health Group Chicago. These contraceptives work by physically blocking sperm from reaching eggs released during ovulation phase of menstrual cycle. Types include condoms (both male and female), diaphragms with spermicide gels/foams among others that provide immediate protection when correctly used.
We respect every woman’s decision whether she chooses not to bear any children or deems her family complete enough has been completed already; hence offers Permanent Birth Control options as well. Services like tubal ligation procedures are made available for women who have decided against future pregnancies confidently and conclusively here at our Womens Health Group Chicago clinic.
Sometimes preventative measures fail despite being cautious actions leading up mandatory redresses — this where Emergency contraception comes into play within 72 hours post unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Our expertise at Womens Health Group Chicago includes prescribing and educating about methods like morning-after pills (containing Levonorgestrel ultra high dose progestin) or a Copper IUD insertion for longer term protection.
Having a complete understanding of your fertility cycle can empower you to have better control over it. At our facility in Hyde Park, we provide comprehensive education on Fertility Awareness Based Methods (FABMs), which focus on tracking menstrual cycles to identify fertile days. With proper instructions, this method could also be useful for planning pregnancies in addition to preventing them. We’re confident that with the right guidance from our experienced practitioners at Womens Health Group Chicago, you’ll find the approach that suits best for you.

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.
