Search September 8, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Pregnancy and Reproduction Emergency Contraception Emergency Contraception Overview Emergency contraceptives available in the United States include emergency contraceptive pills, which contain the same hormones found in birth control pills, and the Copper T380 intrauterine device (IUD). Both the Preven kit and the Plan B kit are pills marketed as emergency contraceptive pills. Emergency contraceptive measures can be taken within the first 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse to reduce the possibility of pregnancy. A woman is most likely to become pregnant if sexual intercourse occurs in the few days before or after ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary). Emergency contraceptives should not be used as a contraceptive method in women who are sexually active or planning to become sexually active. They are not as effective as any ongoing contraceptive method.

Waging War with the Virgin Soldiers Filed under: religion Abstinence teaching is a disaster for teenagers. By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 11th May 2004. The flame of sexual liberation may soon have to be kept alive by us geriatric delinquents. A US No one could dispute that thousands of teenagers in Britain and the United States are suffering as a result of sex before marriage. Teenage pregnancies are overwhelmingly concentrated at the bottom of the social scale: the teenage daughters of unskilled manual labourers are ten times as likely to become pregnant as middle-class girls.4 According to the United Nations agency Unicef, women born into poverty are twice as likely to stay that way if they have their children too soon. They are more likely to be unemployed, to suffer from depression and to become dependent on alcohol or drugs.5 The two western countries at the top of the disaster league, the United States and the United Kingdom, are those in which conservative campaigns are among the strongest and sex education and access to contraception are among the weakest.

Information and Education Services Home I About Us I Search I Site Map I Contact Us Health Information Library Services Ask a Health Question ... Other Sites Health Information - Women's Health Factsheets Sexuality and contraception when approaching menopause The time leading up to menopause (the cessation of periods) is a transitional phase, sometimes referred to as the pre-menopause. During the pre-menopause a woman experiences a number of physical changes and may review how she feels about herself and her body. It is also a time when a woman can re-evaluate her form of contraception due to a lowered risk of pregnancy and possible changes in sexual relationships. Sexuality Sexuality incorporates not only the sexual activities, but also emotions, thoughts and preferences. It is central to our sense of self and impacts on every aspect of our lives. The numerous changes that a woman in the pre-menopausal phase experiences can all have an effect on her sexuality. Physical changes Cultural and societal attitudes It is important that these cultural and societal stereotypes regarding older women and sexuality be challenged, to allow these women to feel comfortable with their bodies and their sexual interest. The promotion of more positive images of older women is a key element in this challenge. Women reaching this stage in life need to remember that sexual desirability is not restricted to youth and that there is no reason why a woman cannot enjoy a fulfilling sex life as she ages.

Increasing Abortion Services Training Advanced Practice Clinicians Training Residents and Physicians Medical and Nursing Students ... Donate Now Catholic Hospitals Agree to Offer Emergency Contraception A Successful Campaign In October 1998, the Abortion Access Project learned that Catholic Hospitals can provide emergency contraception. In the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services which govern Catholic hospitals, Directive 36 clearly states that: "A female who has been raped should be able to defend herself against a potential conception from the sexual assault. If, after appropriate testing, there is no evidence that conception has occurred already, she may be treated with medications that would prevent ovulation, sperm capacitation or fertilization. It is not permissible, however, to initiate or to recommend treatments that have as their purpose or direct effect the removal, destruction or interference with the implantation of a fertilized ovum." The Abortion Access Project called the emergency rooms of the 10 Catholic hospitals in Massachusetts, posing as a social worker with a client who had been raped, and asking if emergency contraception would be provided to the victim. With one exception, every hospital said no. (In one hospital, the staff had no idea.) We then wrote to the presidents of each of these hospitals, informing them that according to the

96. FRONTIERS IN NONHORMONAL MALE CONTRACEPTION: A CALL FOR RESEARCH Furthermore, many men are already using male contraception in the form of Strong barriers to acceptance of male contraception have fallen away, http://www.gumption.org/mcip/paper.html

FRONTIERS IN NONHORMONAL MALE CONTRACEPTION: A CALL FOR RESEARCH Elaine A. Lissner, Director Male Contraception Information Project (MCIP) MCIP is a project of the Boston Women's Health Book Collective Abstract Introduction Vas-based Methods Heat Methods ... References Abstract This paper describes the current state of research in two little-known but promising areas of nonhormonal male contraception: vas-based methods (no-scalpel vasectomy, chemical injection, injectable plugs, the Shug, and SMA) and heat methods (simple wet heat, artificial cryptorchidism, polyester suspensories, and ultrasound). Each has a clear advantage over current contraceptives (male and female) in one or more areas of safety, effectiveness, convenience, reversibility, and avoidance of surgery. These promising methods merit more research attention and allocation of resources. Introduction We speak of a "contraceptive supermarket" for women - the concept that since no one method is right for everybody, a variety of methods should be available (Djerassi 1981). We argue that the pill's unsuitability for older women doesn't mean it should be kept from younger women; that the diaphragm is right for some women despite its messiness and restriction of spontaneity; that the sponge's relatively low effectiveness rate doesn't mean it should be taken off the shelf. But when we think about contraceptive availability this way and what contraceptive supermarket is available to men, the answer is that only three purely male methods exist - withdrawal, the condom, and vasectomy (male sterilization). This contrasts with the list for women- the diaphragm, the sponge, IUDs, the pill, cervical caps, "morning after" pills, Norplant, Depo Provera, natural methods, ovulation detectors, the female condom, foams, jellies, suppositories, sterilization, and more (Hatcher et al. 1990, Chap. 8). And when we consider that of the three male methods withdrawal has low effectiveness, the condom faces psychological resistance and a 3-15% failure rate, and vasectomy is not reliably reversible (Engelmann et al. 1990, Hargreave 1992), the selection for men seems paltry indeed.

97. Male Contraception Using Testicular Heating Results from the literature and from selfexperimentation on the use of testicular heating as a birth control method. http://www.puzzlepiece.org/bcontrol/malebc.html

Experimental Method of Male Contraception The probability of conception can be made very small by sufficiently reducing the amount of sperm a man produces. This reduction in sperm production is easily accomplished by bringing the temperature of the testicles closer to body temperature, and this is most conveniently done by bringing the testicles closer to the body. Preliminary studies show that this method is effective: there were no pregnancies for the nine couples over 151 ovulation cycles of exposure. My wife and I had considered every conventional method of birth control and we were very frustrated with their shortcomings. The artificial hormones like birth control pills made her feel depressed, spermicide on condoms burned her skin and were too ineffective without it, tuboligation and vasectomy seemed premature because we weren't certain we wouldn't want a child later, and a diaphragm was too difficult to install and not very effective without spermicide anyway. For a time it seemed that the symto-thermal method of predicting fertility would work. For several months we charted my wife's menstrual cycle. The main problem was that we had to abstain when her libido was the highest - the fertile portion of her cycle! This inspired me to get on the net and into the library and find another method. The testicular heating method has been ideal for us, but we are an unusual couple. The advantages are that it doesn't cost anything after getting it started, it takes little time to maintain once started, it doesn't limit sexual activity in any way, it doesn't require exposure to or consumption of any drugs or hormones, and it is reversible. The disadvantages are that it hasn't been tested by many couples, so there is an unknown risk to the health of the testicles and to any baby resulting from a failure of the method. With each new study the risk gets smaller. Another disadvantage is that there is little support for this method. Most people don't even know about it!

Emergency contraception: Preventing pregnancy after you have had sex You can become pregnant if you have unprotected intercourse even just once! Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) can prevent pregnancy. The ECP should only be used in an emergency. It only works for a short period of time. When should I use the ECP? How well does the ECP work? What is the ECP? Is the ECP safe? ... Information available on the Internet When should I use the ECP? The ECP is best used within three days (72 hours) after unprotected sex. Some doctors will prescribe it up to five days, but there is less evidence about how well it works then. The sooner you take the ECP, the better it will work. Unprotected sex includes: When no birth control was used. When birth control may have failed. For example: –If a condom broke or slipped. –If a diaphragm or cervical cap came off, tore or was taken out too early. –If you missed taking two or more of your birth control pills or started a new pack three or more days late. If you were late for your birth control shot.
