Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive options for hormonal contraceptives to help individuals control childbirth. Hormonal methods include birth control pills, patches, injections, or vaginal rings that work by releasing hormones to prevent ovulation and subsequently pregnancy. We are dedicated to offering personalized advice tailored to your lifestyle and medical history ensuring you get a solution that aligns perfectly with your unique needs.
Plan your family at your own pace with our selection of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). These highly-effective contraceptive options include devices such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants which can provide protection from pregnancy for several years but could be reversed anytime should the need arise. Our team is experienced in inserting and removing these devices safely while providing necessary patient education about managing any potential side effects.
For those based in Orland Park looking for non-hormonal means of contraception, our clinic also specializes in fitting barrier methods. This conventional way prevents sperm from reaching the egg through physical or chemical barriers like condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps or spermicidal foams/gels. Just book an appointment today for consultation and have all of these options discussed according to what might best suit your condition.
If you’ve decided not to have children down the line or already completed your family size goal, Women’s Health Group Chicago offers permamenent birth control services that deliver peace of mind without worrying about unplanned pregnancies ever again. Such sterilization procedures involve tubal ligation (“tying tubes”) for women – all performed under stringent safety protocols will full recovery guidance provided post procedure.
Accidents happen — whether it’s contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse, we understand how important it is to have immediate solutions. Emergency contraception services at our clinic intend to prevent pregnancy even after such incidents. You can access ‘morning-after pills’ that inhibit ovulation if consumed within certain timeframe of the incident or installation of Copper T IUD which prevents sperm from reaching egg.
Women’s Health Group Chicago provides comprehensive education about fertility awareness methods for all women who prefer going natural way in controlling birth. Fertility awareness methods (FAMs) focus on identifying the most fertile days within menstrual cycle so abstaining during these time periods could help avoid conception. The guidance also includes training on tracking physical signs, using basal body temperature and observing cervical mucus changes among others. Achieve your family planning goals with confidence through a more informed understanding of your own biological cycles.
