Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer a broad range of hormonal contraceptives to women in the West Englewood neighborhood and beyond. Hormonal contraceptives deliver hormones (such as estrogen and progestin) into your body to prevent ovulation, thus preventing unintended pregnancies.

We pride ourselves on providing personalized guidance helping each woman find the most suitable hormonal contraceptive based on her lifestyle and health history.
