Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that every woman’s body is unique and requires individual attention. Our team in South Chicago provides the highest quality of care embracing a broad range of hormonal contraceptives to suit varied needs. Whether you’re considering pills, patches or injections, these methods work by regulating your hormones to prevent ovulation and fertilisation effectively. Our doctors will help you understand how each method works, its benefits as well as potential side effects so that you can make an informed choice about your reproductive health.
If it’s convenience and long-term protection against unexpected pregnancies that you seek, consider our portfolio of Long-acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). These are ‘fit and forget’ contraceptive methods like intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implants which offer lasting protections anywhere from 3 to 10 years yet are reversible anytime. Your health matters at Womens Health Group Chicago; hence our doctors take time assessing your health profile before advising what LARC suits best for you.
Wouldn’t it be great if birth control could protect against sexually transmitted infections too? We believe it would. That’s why we advocate barrier methods at Womens Health Group Chicago! Barrier contraception options such as condoms or diaphragms add up another layer of safety in intimate moments while avoiding unwanted pregnancy risks. The benefit? You get dual protection – combating both unplanned pregnancy and STIs simultaneously!
Thinking long term? For those who’ve decided they don’t want any future pregnancies, Womens Health Group Chicago presents a practical solution with permanent birth control options. Surgical procedures like tubal ligation or non-surgical method such as Essure®, ensure reliable contraception without the need for daily routine. We’re here to discuss all your options, answer any doubts and provide top expertise in the field of permanent sterilization.
Life happens, so we’ve got you covered should conventional methods fail or if there’s no protection at all. Emergency contraception is available at Womens Health Group Chicago, offering an additional safety net within three days (72 hours), but ideally sooner after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure occurs. Whether it’s morning-after pill or a copper IUD, having this backup option empowers every woman toward smart decision making about her health decisions.
Is natural birth control more of your preference? At Womens Health Group Chicago, we respect and support that choice! Fertility awareness methods (FAMs) allow you to understand your menstrual cycles better so that you can predict your fertile timelines avoiding conception naturally. Our healthcare professionals are on hand to educate and guide you on utilizing these techniques effectively.

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.
