subject: Top Three Natural Techniques For Birth Control [print this page] There are adults, as well as teens, who regularly increased their use of condoms and other contraceptives, various research shows, while a significant number of people do not use contraceptives effectively or constantly during sexual intercourse. Around 85 to 95 percent of sexually active young women, who are not using any kind of contraceptives, became pregnant within a year of intercourse, according to federal statistics. However, becoming a teen parent may have a big impact to ones life, forcing young women to stop schooling and losing their personal goals in life. Sexually active people may use some of the different methods of birth controls which reduce the risk of pregnancy and one of these is the Mirena IUD. However, Mirena IUD has been reported to cause several serious side effects such pelvic infections, pelvic or lower abdominal pain, ovarian cyst, and irregular menstruation, and had driven distressed patients into filing Mirena IUD lawsuits.
Here under is an interesting guide list to some of the natural and effective birth controls you may use instead of pills and devices.
BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE (BBT)
The basal body temperature method is the oldest and most widely practiced of the fertility awareness methods. Every woman is different, so your temperature pattern may vary from the example below. The woman should assume that body temperature will increase noticeably (0.4-0.8 Fahrenheit) at ovulation. Most women ovulate (release an egg from the ovary) at about day 14 of their menstrual cycle, plus or minus two days. To use the basal body temperature as a birth control method, a woman should refrain from having sexual intercourse from the time her temperature drops until at least 48 to 72 hours after her temperature increases again.
CALENDAR METHOD
The calendar method is one of the most widely practiced approaches to contraception, as well as one of the oldest known in history. Because of its technique, it is a safe and natural way to exercise birth control. However, it is not without risks, as the method has not proven to be 100percent effective. It is always recommended that before anyone or any couple decides to use an approach such as this, to seek the advice of a doctor or counsellor at a clinic. Trained medical personnel can best determine if this method is best for their patients, and whether or not it can be a good option.
MUCUS METHOD
Also known as the cervical mucus method, this technique is not for every woman. It requires a woman to be very comfortable with her body since she will need to regularly check her cervical mucus. But it may also help a woman become much more attuned to the changes that happen within her body every month. If you plan to use this method of natural birth control, it is strongly recommended that you receive training in the technique by your doctor or another trained professional.
