Rush Excellence in Family Planning
- Specially trained to care for you: Our family planning team includes obstetrician-gynecologists who completed additional medical training to provide comprehensive family planning care. Their expertise includes treating complex birth control needs, sometimes complicated by chronic health issues such as diabetes or epilepsy. We are also committed to affirming care — supporting all individuals' reproductive goals confidentially and without judgment.
- Birth control right for you: Our providers offer contraceptive counseling to help you identify the best birth control options for your lifestyle and reproductive goals. Understanding your medical history is critical as certain conditions and medications can affect birth control choices. After you start birth control, your specialist will monitor your physical and emotional health to make sure your method is best for you.
- Expert care during and after pregnancy loss: If you think you may be experiencing a miscarriage, our team can diagnose and treat you. We offer both medication and surgery options to manage your miscarriage as comfortably as possible. After losing a pregnancy, you may need additional support, guidance and medical expertise. The family planning team can connect you with other Rush specialists to address health issues related to pregnancy loss.
- Caring for you, body and mind: Pregnancy loss can sometimes be complicated and cause stress, anxiety or sadness, among other feelings. Our providers regularly partner with Rush mental health experts, including psychologists and psychiatrists, to support your emotional needs.
