Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we provide comprehensive services regarding hormonal contraceptives. The term ‘Hormonal contraceptives’ refers to birth control methods that use hormones to prevent pregnancy. These can include different forms such as pills, patches, vaginal rings or injections. Our experienced healthcare professionals will guide you through all stages of choosing an appropriate hormonal contraceptive method suited to your lifestyle and health needs. We take into account factors like age, overall health status and personal preferences while offering personalized advice.
Our long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are a reliable choice for those seeking prolonged protection against unplanned pregnancies without constant attention. LARCs such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implants offer efficacy rates exceeding 99%. Our team in Romeoville is readily available to consult with you about these options; guiding you from the initial selection process through placement and any necessary follow-ups.
For women preferring non-hormonal alternatives, our clinic provides barrier method contraceptions – including diaphragms, cervical caps and condoms which work by blocking sperm from reaching the egg prior fertilization. Apart from preventing pregnancy, barrier methods also help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections making them suitable for many groups of patients.
Some women may decide that they have completed their families, leading them to consider permanent birth control options at Womens Health Group Chicago in Romeoville. Permanent birth control is a significant decision with various possibilities including tubal ligation or essure procedures that block future pregnancies permanently but do not affect menstrual cycles or hormone levels..
Emergencies can happen in everyone’s life so it’s important to remember that there are options available. Emergency contraception, including ‘morning-after’ pills or IUDs can be used after unprotected sexual intercourse to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Be assured that our compassionate healthcare providers can discuss these sensitive issues confidentially and provide you with the necessary care.
Understanding your reproductive cycle is also a key factor in either planning or preventing pregnancies. The Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs) help in determining the times of a woman’s menstrual cycle when she is most fertile. By observing changes such as body temperature and cervical mucus, women in Romeoville can take better control of their reproductive health at Women’s Health Group Chicago.

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.
