This factsheet outlines the non-hormonal methods. For more information on alternatives such as the pill, see the separate BUPA factsheet on hormonal contraception. Non-hormonal contraception works by either preventing sperm fertilising an egg, or preventing the implantation of a fertilised egg into the lining of the womb. The main methods are: These are physical barriers that stop the sperm coming into contact with the egg, thereby preventing fertilisation. A condom is a thin sheath, usually made out of latex, which is rolled onto an erect penis before sexual contact. They should not be used with an oil-based lubricant, such as Vaseline, because this can cause the latex to break down. Water-based lubricants, such as K-Y Jelly, and spermicidal creams or pessaries are safe.

    Explains forms of birth control that some people may use which are not at all effective in preventing pregnancy.

    Extractions: Home Main Menu Feature Article on Abstinence Birth Control Overview ... When Your Contraception Fails There are numerous ways for a couple to avoid pregnancy. Some are extremely effective, like abstinence or the birth control pill while others, like the withdrawal method are not at all effective. Douching Many women are under the mistaken impression that using a vaginal douche immediately after vaginal sex will help prevent a pregnancy. In actuality, douching may push sperm deeper into the uterus, thereby encouraging a pregnancy. Vaginal douches should never be used as a method of birth control. Regularly using a douche has been associated with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease as well as ectopic pregnancy . Moreover, since the female reproductive system naturally cleanses itself, there is no need to douche for personal hygiene. No Birth Control There are many reasons why a woman who is sexually active may choose not to use contraception although they are not actively seeking to become pregnant. It could be for personal convictions, religious belief or for medical considerations. In other instances, a woman may be under the false impression that using birth control doesn’t matter – she still won’t get pregnant. Not using any contraception has the highest rate of pregnancy, with 85% of women who choose not to use birth control becoming pregnant annually. Even if you have given the matter a lot of thought and have decided that using contraceptives is not for you, you must be open to the idea of having children. While you may not have dozens and dozens of children, it is important that you and your partner understand that you may very well become pregnant when you choose to not use birth control.

63. Provider Attitudes Toward Dispensing Emergency Contraception In Michigan's Title
    Article in Family Planning Perspectives (Joseph Winchester Brown and Matthew L. Boulton) describes results of a survey of family planning coordinators from Title X grantees.

    Extractions: Volume 31, Number 1, January/February 1999 By Joseph Winchester Brown and Matthew L. Boulton The efficacy and potential side effects of emergency contraceptive pills have been documented. Until recently, however, the method was relatively obscure. Largely because opponents of the method equate it with abortion, pharmaceutical companies were reluctant to apply to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a license to package and market birth control pills specifically for emergency contraception; thus, the method consisted of off-label use of birth control pills, the number depending on the formulation used. Although some physicians have prescribed the method in this way since the 1970s, few studies have addressed the method's availability and dispensation, or providers' attitudes about it. But overall use of this method has been low, and for years, its characterization as the "nation's best-kept secret" seemed appropriate. Despite the lack of any licensing applications, the FDA's Reproductive Health Drug and Urologic Product Advisory Committee initiated action in June 1996 by unanimously declaring emergency contraceptive pills a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy if taken in recommended dosages up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. In February 1997, the FDA published dosage information for six pill brands; although the agency stopped short of requiring pill manufacturers to relabel their products with instructions for emergency use, the notice was "intended to encourage manufacturers to make this additional contraceptive option available."

(Redirected from Contraception Birth control is a regimen of one or more extra actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant . Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning . Mechanisms which are intended to reduce the likelihood of the fertilization of an ovum by a spermatozoon may more specifically be referred to as contraception . Contraception differs from abortion in that the former prevents fertilization, whereas abortion terminates an already established pregnancy. Methods of birth control which may prevent the implantation of an embryo if fertilization occurs are controversially described by either term — see morning-after pill for a more complete discussion.

Alert: Emergency contraception, if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse will prevent a pregnancy from starting in about 90% of cases. However, some pharmacies refuse to stock this medication. Wal-Mart in the U.S. and Canada is probably the largest chain which have taken this stand. Also, some individual pharmacists refuse to dispense it on moral or religious grounds. Women who feel that they might need to obtain this medication in the future because of rape or contraceptive failure might wish to determine, in advance of need, the nearest pharmacy which will supply them with the medication. They might also wish to obtain a prescription from their physician, and perhaps even purchase the medication to have it on hand in case they need it. " The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has urged its members to offer prescriptions for emergency contraception during patients' regular checkups ."

    Extractions: Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... Op-ed MITT ROMNEY July 26, 2005 YESTERDAY I vetoed a bill that the Legislature forwarded to my desk. Though described by its sponsors as a measure relating to contraception, there is more to it than that. The bill does not involve only the prevention of conception: The drug it authorizes would also terminate life after conception. Signing such a measure into law would violate the promise I made to the citizens of Massachusetts when I ran for governor. I pledged that I would not change our abortion laws either to restrict abortion or to facilitate it. What's more, this particular bill does not require parental consent even for young teenagers. It disregards not only the seriousness of abortion but the importance of parental involvement and so would weaken a protection I am committed to uphold. I have spoken with medical professionals to determine whether the drug contemplated under the bill would simply prevent conception or whether it would also terminate a living embryo after conception. Once it became clear that the latter was the case, my decision was straightforward. I will honor the commitment I made during my campaign: While I do not favor abortion, I will not change the state's abortion laws. I understand that my views on laws governing abortion set me in the minority in our Commonwealth. I am prolife. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate.

    Extractions: Unintended pregnancy is the primary factor behind the high number of abortions that take place every year in the United States. Although abortion is safer than childbearing, many women could avoid the procedure altogether if contraceptive options were improved and if safe, effective and easy-to-use methods, together with comprehensive sex education, were more widely available. Many unplanned pregnancies result in wanted, loved and healthy children, but that is not always the case. Women faced with unplanned pregnancies are more likely to ignore the early signs of pregnancy and less likely to receive adequate prenatal care; their infants, therefore, run an increased risk of low birth weight and infant mortality. For some families, the emotional and economic stress of an unplanned child is overwhelming. Children who are unplanned are more likely to be abused, and children born unwanted face increased risks of poor health, poverty and neglect. Unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are serious public health problems that could be alleviated by a national reproductive health policy that encourages personal responsibility instead of inhibiting it. Ensuring that women have access to contraceptive options that meet their health needs is essential to diminishing the significant personal and societal costs of unintended pregnancy and STDs. A national reproductive health policy must confront these problems and institute reforms that will revitalize contraceptive research and development, ensure that safe and effective birth control methods are widely available and promote public education about sexual responsibility and reproductive health.

    Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 62/No. 10 (November 15, 2000) T The use of safe, effective emergency postcoital contraceptive methods could result in 1 million fewer abortions and 2 million fewer unintended pregnancies each year in the United States. Although 2 to 3 percent of women terminate a pregnancy each year through abortion, only 1 percent of women in America report ever having used emergency contraception. Studies of college women who have had abortions reveal that, on average, only one in three was aware that emergency contraception was available. Worldwide, emergency contraception has been used extensively for over two decades. The options currently available include an estrogen-progestin combination (ethinyl estradiol with levonorgestrel), progestin alone (levonorgestrel), the antiprogestin synthetic steroid RU 486 (mifepristone; Mifeprex), estrogen alone (high-dose ethinyl estradiol) and the copper intrauterine device (IUD) (Table 1) TABLE 1 Methods of Emergency Contraception Regimen Timing of first dose after intercourse Availability Reported efficacy Source of data to 72 hours Licensed in some countries since early 1980 (e.g., United Kingdom, the Netherlands); available unlicensed in the appropriate combination of oral contraceptive pills; recently licensed in the United States as a dedicated product
