Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the unique needs of our patients. That’s why we offer various hormonal contraceptive options tailored to maximize your health and lifestyle choices. Our experienced team will guide you through detailed information about birth control pills, patches, injections, or vaginal rings containing hormones that prevent pregnancy. We believe in a personal approach because choosing Hormonal contraceptives should be an informed decision made hand-in-hand with a trusted healthcare provider.
Healthcare decisions can seem daunting but making proactive choices shouldn’t cause worry. This is particularly true for our women in Markham seeking Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC). LARC methods like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants are long-lasting, effective ways to prevent pregnancies. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we host confidential consultations regarding available options as well as supporting you throughout the insertion process which provides safe years-long protection against unplanned pregnancies.
Using Barrier Methods may appeal to those wanting a non-hormonal option during their fertile periods while avoiding potential side effects linked with hormonal contraceptives. The Womens Health Group team is committed to providing comprehensive guidance on the utilization of barrier methods like condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps & sponges which provide physical barriers preventing sperm from reaching the egg and promote safer sex by protecting against sexually transmitted infections.
For women who are certain they do not want future biological children or any other medical rationale behind it – our experts at Womens Health Group Chicago support your steps towards Permanent Birth Control procedures such as Tubal ligation – also known commonly as getting “tubes tied”. During consultation sessions held in complete discretion and openness; our doctors counsel you regarding all your concerns and ensure the procedure aligns with your personal, lifestyle, and health requirements.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that emergencies can occur at any point. That’s why our compassionate team provides prompt care by offering Emergency Contraceptives like morning-after pills or copper IUD within essential timeframes post unprotected intercourse to prevent a potential pregnancy. We believe in maintaining an open dialogue on this important topic while ensuring confidentiality faced during these difficult moments.
We take pride in educating and supporting women who prefer natural birth control options such as Fertility Awareness Methods (FAM). These methods involve understanding and observing physical signs of fertility cycle like basal body temperature or cervical mucus changes through various techniques approved by medical bodies. Our capable team at Womens Health Group Chicago aims to empower you with adequate knowledge & resources about each method’s effectiveness and suitability pertaining to individual user reliability.

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.

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.
