Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that your reproductive health is a personal and significant aspect of your overall wellbeing. Our team of experts specializes in various contraceptive methods including hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal contraceptives are an effective method for preventing unintended pregnancy by altering the menstrual cycle through estrogen or progestin hormones. Options include birth control pills, patches, injectables, vaginal rings and more which can all be customized for each patient’s individual needs.
Consider our Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive options if you’re seeking long-term birth control but are also interested in eventually having children. This category includes intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal implants that release hormones over extended periods to prevent fertility without any daily effort from the user. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide comprehensive counseling about these methods so that you can make an educated choice fitting your family planning goals.
We at Womens Health Group Chicago know every woman is unique where her contraception preferences are concerned and some may prefer hormone-free alternatives such as barrier methods. These use physical barriers like diaphragms or cervical caps to keep sperm from reaching the egg during intercourse while condoms provide additional protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
For those who’ve completed their families or made a confident decision not to have children, permanent birth control options might offer the security they seek. We perform non-invasive procedures with minimal discomfort to ensure patient satisfaction in this highly serious matter. Our clinic offers professional consultation before going ahead with decisions on irreversible sterilization techniques; providing balanced information regarding benefits and potential side-effects.
Unforeseen circumstances necessitate immediate measures, and the Womens Health Group Chicago provides emergency contraception options for such instances. Whether it’s a missed pill, failed barrier method or lack of contraceptive use altogether, we supply both over-the-counter and prescription options according to individual needs. Emergency contraceptives are not intended for regular usage, but provide crucial back-up when primary methods fail.
Fertility awareness methods offer natural ways to monitor your fertility cycle in order to prevent pregnancy. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we support women choosing this approach by assisting them with identifying patterns in menstrual cycles and recognizing physical signs of fertility. These strategies could be utilized alone or combined with other methods depending on personal desires and health circumstances.

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.
