Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of hormone balance and its impact on a woman’s health. With that knowledge, we provide an array of hormonal contraceptive options to our clients. Whether you’re drawn to the convenience of oral contraceptives like birth control pills or prefer something more discreet such as patches or vaginal rings, our team can provide guidance on what will work best for your unique situation and lifestyle. We proudly serve not only Chicago but also extend our services to women in Oak Forest.
Making informed decisions about family planning supports overall well-being. To cater to diverse needs and preferences, Women’s Health Group Chicago offers Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). Providing maximum efficacy with minimal maintenance effort, LARCs – which include intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants – are available at our clinic for those who are seeking stress-free contraception methods while keeping future family planning possibilities open.
Aside from other forms of birth control, barrier methods continue to be a popular choice among many women due to their non-hormonal nature. These include condoms (both male & female), diaphragms among others. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we ensure that all essential information about the pros and cons is shared with you so that you can make an empowered decision about your sexual health.
For women in Oak Forest requiring a permanent solution towards contraception, Womens Health Group Chicago provides advanced permanent birth control procedures including tubal ligation – often referred as getting your tubes tied – providing long-term peace of mind without impacting hormones levels or menstrual cycle regularity.
Life may present uncertain scenarios; being prepared is essential. For those unexpected situations, we provide emergency contraception services. It’s crucial to understand that these should not be used as a regular method of birth control but rather an alternative in emergencies only.
Understanding your fertility plays a fundamental role when considering which type of birth control option works best for you. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our professionals offer insights into navigating Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs). With continuous tracking and monitoring of fertility signs throughout the menstrual cycle, women can truly take charge in preventing or planning pregnancies with confidence.

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.
