Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in providing comprehensive care for all your reproductive health needs. This includes guiding you through various birth control options to decide the method that suits your lifestyle and future plans. We proudly offer a full range of hormonal contraceptive options tailored to meet your specific requirements. Hormonal contraceptives manage fertility by regulating hormones, with common forms including oral contraceptives (the pill), injectables, or patches.
When it comes to long-term family planning solutions where flexibility is desired, long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) can be an excellent choice. Our experienced team at the Womens Health Group Chicago will talk you through LARC options such as IUDs and implants which provide protection against pregnancy for several years but are easily reversible should you wish to conceive.
Protecting oneself from unintended pregnancies doesn’t necessarily mean committing to continual medications or procedures; sometimes simplicity is just what’s needed! At our clinic serving Maywood area patients, we fully support barrier methods as reliable means of contraception. Barrier methods like condoms, diaphragms or cervical caps prevent sperm from meeting egg – a simple yet effective step toward preventing pregnancy.
For individuals who have made a firm decision about their family sizes and want maintenance-free protection against pregnancy on a permanent basis, surgical sterilization services are available at our facility. Rely on us for safe and proficient performance of tubal ligation or laparoscopic sterilization techniques—procedures designed for peace-of-mind when it comes to birth control.
Emergencies happen – so does unprotected sex. If you’ve had intercourse without using any form of contraceptive or if your usual method has failed, our clinic provides emergency contraceptive options to prevent unintended pregnancies. We understand the need for quick and confidential care during such stressful moments and are here to offer support.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we appreciate that every woman is unique, and so should be her birth control solution. If you’re interested in natural ways of preventing pregnancy or planning for future conception, you’ll find all the help you need right here with us. Our team will provide resources and education on fertility awareness methods (FAMs), helping you to understand your body’s normal functioning cycle better.

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.
