All forms of contraception

Of course you do not want any lovemaking results in a small, chubby baby. Fortunately this can be prevented by a variety of contraceptives. There is a wide range so there really is always a method to find which suits you. Perhaps unnecessary, but it can not be emphasized often enough: a number of contraceptives not only protect you against unintended pregnancy, but also against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).


abstinence

Abstain from all sexual intercourse is obviously one method, which - theoretically - no pregnancy will occur. Yet in practice difficult. Research shows that over 10% of women who use contraception, become pregnant!


contraceptive ring

The vaginal ring, called NuvaRing, is a small, thin and flexible plastic ring (diameter: 5.4 cm) that you insert into the vagina. Like the pill contraceptive ring contains the hormones estrogen and progestin, the amount is lower than the ordinary pill. Yet the contraceptive ring as reliable as the pill. Especially for those who occasionally forget a pill, the contraceptive ring a reliable alternative. The ring is just as effective as the pill and the effect is the same.

He continues to sit three weeks and you can not forget (as the pill). The hormones directly into your bloodstream. No doctor required for placing the ring and on request, send an e-mail or text message sent to you when you need to replace the ring.
A disadvantage is that you must insert the ring yourself (some people find it a bit scary) and the possible side effects are the same as the pill. The vaginal ring provides a regular, monthly menses. Postponing menstruation is possible. The pregnancy rate when used correctly is 0.4 and the contraceptive ring that is as reliable as the regular pill.


contraception stick

The contraceptive rod is inserted subcutaneously and provides hormones. It just once in three years to be inserted. This is done by a doctor in your arm, just under your skin. The strip protects you against pregnancy for three years. You have this method can not control your period. If you want to stop using the stick, a doctor should remove the stick again.


coitus interruptus

Other names for this method are: 'retreat' for the church to sing. Literally it means: interrupted sexual intercourse. In this method, the penis is withdrawn from the vagina just before when the guy cums (ejaculates). It shoots his sperm outside the vagina. Ejaculation always takes a few seconds later than the orgasm, which makes possible the application but it is a matter of experience and skill to good use this method. The chance of pregnancy is small if this method is safe during the day is used. If you are unsure of your ovulation - and therefore your unsafe days - rather than using another method. In the pre-cum may also alter sperm are living, so there is always a chance that the sperm managed to penetrate into the fallopian tubes.



condom

The condom is the oldest and most popular barrier method. It is a thin cover, usually made of rubber. It protects you against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and AIDS. The condom catches the semen (sperm), so it is not in the vagina.

The condom should be applied over the erect penis before they "fought" leaving the penis.
There are many types of condoms, but not every condom is as secure (for example the funcondooms, these are very nice, but not safe!).
With "perfect use" is a (good) 98-99% condom safe. Even safer is to use a condom with a spermicide. Store condoms in a cool dry place, which prevents tearing the condom before. Would rather not (long) in your pocket, purse or glove compartment.
If a condom does unexpected tear, pull the penis straight back. A new condom can be used and then use a double dose of spermicide.
If the vagina is slightly dry and hard inside the penis can use a water-based lubricant. Do not use oily products as they will attack the rubber of the condom and it is no longer safe.

GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland (brain Appendix) to the release of hormones, the ovarian activity (functioning of the ovary) relaunch. In addition to full breastfeeding amenorrhea is also necessary to a reliable form of contraception to speak. Amenorrhoea means no bleeding. This method of contraception is any bleeding after 15 days after birth occurs to regard as the end of the amenorrhea. Contraception is not certain and there will be commenced with other contraceptive methods. After 6 months the method, even if no bleeding has been unreliable.
