The most common form of contraceptive birth control used today is a condom for men. Contraceptive birth control using condoms is eighty to ninety percent effective when used in combination with spermicide. Condoms are not full proof. One of the major drawbacks to using condoms is that they can break or become stuck in the female’s vagina. Condoms do not require a prescription and can be used to protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
Implants are another type of contraceptive birth control. Implants have a ninety-nine percent effective rate. They work by inserting small tubes containing progesterone into the woman’s body. The progesterone is released in fractional doses and prevents the woman from releasing eggs from her ovaries. When there are no eggs, there can be no conception. Contraceptive birth control using implants generally lasts for up to five years. As soon as the implants are removed, fertility returns.
A medical procedure is necessary to implant and remove these devices. Women with certain pre-existing medical conditions are not viable candidates for implants and there can be adverse side effects.
Diaphragms have been used for contraceptive birth control for quite awhile. They work very simply by forming a barrier to stop sperm from reaching the cervix. Spermicide is always used in conjunction with a diaphragm. Diaphragms are believed to be about eighty-five percent effective as a means of contraceptive birth control.
Diaphragms are believed to be safe and fertility returns when they are no longer used. Diaphragms require a prescription and a medical professional must fit them.
You can now be injected with contraceptive birth control medicine. The process is ninety-nine percent effective. There are basically two types of injections available. One must be done on a monthly basis, while the other injection needs to be repeated every ninety days. Contraceptive birth control injections are thought to be safe and highly effective. The injection needs to be administered by your doctor. Normal fertility does not return until six to twenty-four months after discontinued use of injected contraceptive birth control.
The Pill has been the most popular form of contraceptive birth control for many years. A woman takes a pill that contains two types of man-made hormones that imitate the natural hormones in a woman’s body. The hormones are estrogen and progesterone. These hormones prevent the eggs from full development and release from the ovaries and cause changes in the walls of the uterus and the cervical mucus that interfere with conception.
The Pill is ninety-nine percent effective, requires a prescription and must be taken every day. Women with certain pre-existing medical conditions should not take the Pill.
There are many other types of contraceptive birth control available, from more prescriptions to sexual abstinence. Whatever type of contraception you are considering, be certain to talk things through with your doctor before engaging in any type of contraceptive birth control.
