Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer various forms of hormonal contraceptives, providing a range of choices tailored to our patients’ requirements and lifestyle. Proven effective in preventing pregnancy, these may include birth control pills that contain progestin-only or a combination of estrogen and progestin. We also provide contraceptive injections and patches which slowly release hormones into the body over time. Your health is paramount; thus, our team takes great care in discussing each option extensively with you to ensure maximum benefit while minimizing possible side effects.
Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) are another reliable method offered by our clinic located near Uptown, Chicago. LARCs such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or subdermal implants can prevent pregnancy for up to five years but can be reversed anytime if you decide to plan a family sooner than anticipated. With their high efficacy rate combined with very minimal user management required once they’re installed, LARCs have grown increasingly popular among women today.
For individuals keen on avoiding hormonal options altogether, barrier methods present an ideal choice and we’d be happy to provide guidance regarding this selection at Womens Health Group Chicago. Barrier methods halt sperm from reaching any eggs through tools like condoms, diaphragms or cervical caps – offering additional protection against sexually transmitted infections as well – an added advantage unique to this form of contraception.
For those considering permanent solutions for birth control, Women’s Health Group provides services within your reach here in uptown Chicago. Permanent birth control includes procedures like tubal ligation or vasectomy – ensuring peace-of-mind devoid of any pregnancy concerns – an ideal choice for individuals who have completed their families or are certain they don’t wish to have children.
In moments of unexpected need, we provide emergency contraception options. This can be life-saving when regular contraceptive methods fail or no birth control was used hence preventing unwanted pregnancies. Our dedicated team can not only help facilitate these resources within relevant timelines but also counsel and guide you through this understandably stressful time.
The journey towards understanding one’s body better is indeed empowering! At Womens Health Group Chicago, we advocate fertility awareness methods (FAMs) as a natural way to understand your cycle better – thereby managing reproductive functions more efficiently. FAM involves tracking symptoms throughout the menstrual cycle to identify fertile periods accurately and thus avoid conception during those times. With adept guidance on various techniques like temperature tracking, examining cervical mucus etc., FAM teaches women to tune in with their bodies’ changes beautifully over time.

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.
