DEFINITION
Reproductive life
planning
includes all the decisions an individual or couple make about whether
and when to have children, how many children to have, and how they
are spaced.
Abstinence
or refraining from sexual relations, has a theoretical 0% failure rate and is
also the most effective way to prevent STIs.
Natural family planning
methods, also called periodic abstinence methods, are, as the name
implies, methods that involve
no introduction of chemical or foreign material into the body
Lactation Amenorrhea
Method
as long as a woman is breastfeeding, there is both natural suppression of
ovulation and the return of menses
Coitus interruptus
(withdrawal) is one of the oldest known methods of contraception.
Postcoital Douching
douching following intercourse, no matter what solution is used, is
ineffective as a contraceptive measure as sperm may be present in
cervical mucus as quickly as 90 seconds after ejaculation, long before
douching could be accomplished.
Fertility awareness
methods rely on detecting when a woman will be capable of
impregnation (fertile) so she can use periods
of abstinence during that time.
Calendar (Rhythm)
Method
a couple to abstain from coitus on the days of a menstrual cycle when
the woman is most likely to conceive.
Basal Body
Temperature Method
Just before the day of ovulation, a womanās basal body temperature
(BBT), or the temperature of her body at rest.
Coitus
(sexual relations)
Cervical Mucus
Method (Billingās
Method)
another method to predict ovulation is to use the changes in cervical
mucus that occur naturally with ovulation.
Spinnbarkeit
It feels slippery (like egg white) and stretches at least 1 inch before the
strand breaks, a property.
Symptothermal Method
control combines the cervical mucus and BBT methods.
Standard Days Method:
CycleBeads
designed for women who have menstrual cycles between 26 and 32
days
Ovulation Detection
another method to predict ovulation is by the use of an over-the-
counter ovulation detection kit.
Barrier methods
are forms of birth control that place a chemical or latex barrier between
the cervix and advancing sperm, so sperm cannot reach and fertilize an
ovum.
Spermicides
is an agent that causes the death of spermatozoa before they can
enter the cervix.
Male condom
is a latex rubber or synthetic sheath that is placed over the erect penis
before coitus to trap sperm.
