Different methods of birth control have been devised to avoid pregnancy since the beginning of mankind either for fun for unmarried male and female folks or for married couples not wanting pregnancy at that moment of their lives but still want to enjoy a sex filled marriage. There are women birth control methods (for example, Female condom: made of polyurethane, consists of an elastic ring at each end - one ring stays off the vagina, while the other is stationed behind the pubic bone to hold the condom in position), while there are also men birth control methods (for example, male condom – made of latex or a polyurethane sheath placed over the penis) too.

Should Ever Consider

2. Different methods of birth control have been devised to avoid pregnancy since the beginning of
mankind either for fun for unmarried male and female folks or for married couples not wanting
pregnancy at that moment of their lives but still want to enjoy a sex filled marriage. There are
women birth control methods (for example, Female condom: made of polyurethane, consists of
an elastic ring at each end - one ring stays off the vagina, while the other is stationed behind
the pubic bone to hold the condom in position), while there are also men birth control methods
(for example, male condom – made of latex or a polyurethane sheath placed over the penis)
too.
In most cases though, unattached singles use condoms and morning after pill, while stable
couples are very careful in choosing the type of birth control method they should use.
It is very important to note that all these types of birth control are have failure rates. This rate
should help you decide which of the method should be ideal for you. For example, statistics
show that latex condoms and diaphragms have 15% - 20% failure rate. While it is 5% for birth
control pills, injection, sterilization and IUD (Intra Uterine Device).
The different types of birth control are described below:
Hormonal Birth Control
This makes use of female hormones. These include oral pill (estrogen-free mini-pill),
intrauterine devices (IUD), the vaginal ring (Nova vaginal ring), the hormonal shot (Lunelle) and
the patch (OrthoEvra patch).
By comparison, all the types of hormonal birth control are very proficient and reversible. Their
demerits; these hormonal birth control methods can not protect a woman against sexually
transmitted infections and carry high side effects. Due, to their side effects, they can only be
used by prescription.
For a woman to use hormonal birth control, the following 5 factors must be considered;
1. General Health,
2. Age,

3. 3. How Often She Has Intercourse,
4. The Period When Children Are Desired,
5. Number Of Partners Involved.
Merits
1. Helps reduce acne;
2. Lighter menstrual flow;
3. Reduces menstrual cramps;
4. Reduces risk of ovarian cysts;
5. Reduces premenstrual symptoms such as depression and headaches.
Intra Uterine Device
For you who is planning not to get pregnant for three years and above, IUD is highly
recommended. IUDs are placed in the uterus by a gynecologist through the vagina and cervix.
This makes the uterine lining unfit to embed a fertilized egg. Two types of IUD exist in the U.S.,
One produces copper and the other produces progesterone. The Copper T can stay in position
for up to ten years but the Progestasert has to be changed by a doctor every year. The doctor
has to explain the mode of operation of the device and every other concerns you may have
once you have the device on.
Merits:
Intra Uterine Device
1. Does not involve daily or weekly attention
2. Suitable for women who are unable to use estrogen or who want an alternative to
estrogen
3. Does not disturb your chance of being pregnant after the IUD is removed whenever you
want to become pregnant
4. Has relatively few side effects,

4. 5. It is reversible
6. Protects you from pregnancy within 24 hours of insertion
Demerits:
1. Unstable bleeding or very heavy menstrual bleeds.
2. Requires a consultation with a doctor to have it inserted
The factors to be considered when you are about to use to the hormonal birth control should
also be considered here. (You can go back and check those factors again).
