Contraceptive Choices Analyze the safe and effective use of methods of FDA- approved contraceptives to prevent unintended pregnancy.

Objectives Identify major considerations examined when choosing contraceptive methods List commonly used contraceptive methods Explain how each contraceptive works Evaluate contraceptive options

What is Contraception? Chemical, device, or action used to prevent pregnancy Works in a variety of ways NOT a method to reduce risk for STDs!

Which Contraceptive Method is Right? 4 Reflect : ▫Individual health risks ▫Implications of unplanned pregnancy ▫Risks for STDs ▫Convenience and comfort level ▫Type of relationship ▫Ease of use and cost ▫Religious or other philosophical beliefs ▫Can be used by either male or female

Considerations Effectiveness Convenience Cost Reversibility Risks (safety) STD protection

Overview of Commonly Used Methods Abstinence Barrier Methods Hormonal Methods Other

Abstinence Abstaining from sexual intercourse for a chosen period of time. Considerations: ▫Effectiveness: 100% ▫Convenience: 100% ▫Cost: free ▫Reversibility: immediate ▫Risks: none ▫STD protection: perfect (if used consistently) It’s the one method that everyone uses at some point in their lives!!

Barrier Methods Male and female condoms Work by physically blocking sperm from reaching egg Considerations: ▫Effectiveness: 79 – 95% (female condom is lower) ▫Convenience: easily accessible, interrupts sex ▫Cost: low or free ▫Reversibility: immediate ▫Risks: latex allergy (opt for polyurethane) ▫STD protection: high (the best of all the methods except abstinence)

Male Condom Best Practices: ▫Store in a cool, dry place ▫Check expiration date ▫Use a new condom with every act of intercourse ▫Leave a receptacle in the tip ▫Use before any sexual contact begins ▫Remove without leaking any fluid

Common Causes of Condom Failure Incorrect storage Expired Realize it went on the wrong way…then flipped it! Used an oil-based lube Used for more than one act of intercourse Did not remove from erect penis “Doubling” up Wearing it somewhere other than the penis

Female Condom Approved by the FDA in 1993 Can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse Provides protection against STDs; not as high as male condom Made of polyurethane

Hormonal Methods Considerations ▫Effectiveness: 92 – 99.95% ▫Convenience: requires a prescription and usually an exam (Pap and pelvic) ▫Cost: depends on method ▫Reversibility: quick return to normal fertility (except injectables) ▫Risks: mild (breast tenderness) to severe (increased risk of blood clots) ▫STD protection: none!

Oral Contraceptives, a.k.a. “the Pill” Mimic hormonal activity of progesterone ▫prevents ovulation ▫thickens cervical mucus ▫changes lining of the uterus Not recommended for females who: ▫smoke ▫have blood clots, heart disease, stroke, cancer, liver problems, high blood pressure, and migraines Should be taken at the same time everyday Cost: free to $30/month Also available: Seasonale/Seasonique ▫Take pills continuously for 3 months ▫Menstruation occurs 4 times per year Lybrel (approved 2007) ▫365 day pill

Implants Placed under skin by professional to deliver small, steady doses of progestin Implanon: 1 capsule; effective for three years Highest effectiveness rate of hormonal methods (removes human error) Cost: depends on insurance; one-time insertion fee of $50 - $500

Injectables Depo-Provera ▫Long acting progestins injected every 12 weeks ▫Works like implants and OCs - side effects are same Decrease in bone density (woman should increase physical activity and calcium intake) Greater likelihood of weight gain Slower return to normal fertility (12-18 months after disuse) High pregnancy prevention Effectiveness 97-99% effective No visible evidence

Nuvaring & Ortho Evra Nuvaring 2.1 inch ring inserted into vagina for 3 weeks and removed for one week Releases progestin and estrogen directly into blood system 99.7% effective Ortho Evra: Contraceptive Skin Patch Side effects and mechanism similar to oral contraceptives New one once a for 3 weeks; then leave off patch during 4 th week Can be used on outer arm, upper torso, buttocks, or abdomen  99.7% effective

Other Methods Vaginal spermicides Withdrawal

Vaginal Spermicides Work by killing sperm on contact Foams, jellies, creams: Used 30 minutes in advance ▫Reapply after 1 hour Suppositories, and films: Wait 15 minutes to dissolve ▫Effective for 1 hour Considerations ▫Effectiveness: % ▫Convenience: over-the-counter ▫Cost: $10 - $20 1 hour ▫Risks: allergic reaction ▫STD protection: none! Not a “stand alone” method, use with a male or female condom

Plan B It is not a method of birth control, but can be taken within 5 days after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. A woman takes 2 pills (called Plan B), containing the synthetic hormone progestin. It prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation, by increasing cervical mucus to block sperm, or by preventing a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus % Effective

Plan B If you are 18 or older, you can buy Plan B at drugstores or family planning clinics; costs $10 to $45. If you are younger than 18, it requires a visit to a health care provider. EC does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. In most states, you have to get a prescription for ECPs first, so it can take time to get the prescription. (But you can get a prescription before an emergency occurs by "backing up your birth control" with ECPs; to learn how, click here.) ECPs can cause side effects like nausea, which usually disappears after the first 24 hours; other side effects include breast tenderness, irregular bleeding, and headaches.here

A Male’s Role Initiate support and communication Buy and Use Condoms when appropriate Help pay contraceptive cost Be available for shared responsibility for consequences for contraceptive failure

Double Dutch When intercourse takes place, the male is using a condom and the female is using a reliable contraceptive, such as a hormonal method Enhances the effectiveness to almost 100%

Communication Rehearse communication with a friend Choose a good time to discuss methods Share what you know and how you feel about it Listen Pick a method both parties can live with
