Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand the need for safe and effective hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal contraceptives work by altering your body’s hormone levels, preventing ovulation to reduce the chance of pregnancy. Our team of medical professionals believes in providing personalized solutions that align with a patient’s unique health needs. We offer various options including pills, patches, vaginal rings and injections. Each method carries its own set of benefits to suit varying lifestyles and personal preferences.
Ideal for women who desire long-lasting yet reversible birth control methods, LARCs such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implants are often considered due to their high effectiveness rates and ease of use once placed appropriately under clinical supervision at our Olympia Fields practice area clinic. Long acting reversible contraceptives typically require minimal maintenance following insertion – offering busy women peace-of-mind protection against unplanned pregnancy.
As healthcare providers specializing in women’s health services across Chicago including Olympia Fields city, we proudly offer an extensive range of barrier method birth control choices like condoms – both male and female types-, diaphragms along with cervical caps. These function by blocking sperm from reaching the egg during intercourse hence lessening chances of conception occurring.
If you have reached a point in your life where you no longer wish to have children, permanent birth control might be worth considering. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide informative consultations about surgical sterilization methods – tubal ligation or hysterectomy procedures – enabling informed decisions about whether this irreversible method suits your circumstances best.
Unprotected sex could result in unwanted pregnancies even under careful planning scenarios but here at Women’s Health Group Chicago, we equip women with emergency contraception options. Emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) and copper IUDs can be used within a specified time frame post-intercourse to prevent an unwanted pregnancy ensuring safeguarded female health at all times both in and around Olympia Fields.
Understanding your body’s menstrual cycle could prove instrumental in naturally managing fertility. Our healthcare practitioners carry years of accrued wisdom about various Fertility Awareness-Based Methods(FABMs), like Standard Days method, Cervical Mucus examination methods or Basal Body Temperature method among others. These give you the power to either achieve or avoid conception by recognizing personal signs of fertility throughout your monthly cycle.

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.
