METHODS THAT HAVE PROVEN TO BE 100% EFFECTIVE…
abstinence
* * * abstinence* * *
abstinence100% effective
Only 1 method:
* THE PILL *•one pill is taken every day.
•first 21 pills have a combination of synthetic estrogen and/or progesterone hormones.
•stops ovulation, preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs, and thus preventing fertilization•.•changes uterus lining so won't accept fertilized egg
•thickens cervical mucus, harder for sperm to enter uterus.
No protection against STIs!
99% effective
* DEPO-PROVERA SHOT *
No protection against STIs!
•a hormone injection - lasts for 3 months to prevent pregnancy
•contains synthetic progesterone and no estrogen
•stops the ovaries from releasing eggs
•causes the cervical mucus to thicken and changes the uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to enter or survive in the uterus and for egg to implant
99% effective
* THE PATCH *•applied to the abdomen, buttocks, upper arm, or upper torso
•is changed each week (3 weeks on, 1 week off)
•stops ovulation, prevents ovaries from releasing eggs, and thus preventing fertilization.
•thickens cervical mucus, makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and for egg to implant
No protection against STIs!
99% effective
* IMPLANTS *•tiny capsules of artificial hormones put under the skin of arm by a clinician.
•slowly release hormones into the bloodstream.
•stops ovulation, preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs, and thus preventing fertilization.
•thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and for egg to implant.
No protection against STIs!
99% effective
•made from plastic or copper - previously known as 'the coil'
•placed quite easily into the uterus (womb) by a trained doctor or nurse
•stops the egg and sperm from meeting
•may also prevent the fertilized egg from attaching to the lining of the uterus - copper also kills sperm
* IUD * (INTRAUTERINE DEVICE)
No protection against STIs!
99% effective
DO NOW
• List all the contraceptives you can think.• Next to each contraceptive write the correct
method (Ex. Barrier)
* DIAPHRAGM/CERVICAL CAP *
Limited protection against STIs!
•thin rubber dome with a springy and flexible rim
•inserted into the vagina, fits over the cervix and is held in place by vaginal muscles
•A diaphragm holds spermicide in place over the cervix - kills sperm, preventing fertilization
•After intercourse, it should be left in place for 6-8 hours
80% - 94% effective
* MORNING AFTER PILL *1. ovulation is inhibited - the egg not released; or2. normal menstrual cycle is altered, delaying ovulation; or3. can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first and
second actions fail, and the woman does become pregnant, the fertilized egg cannot attach to the lining of the uterus.
4. Can reduce risk of pregnancy up to 120 hours after unprotected vaginal intercourse. At 72 hours EC can be 75-89% effective.
No protection against STIs!
*MALE CONDOM*
shaped like a penis and is usually made of latex; prevents sharing of bodily fluids like semen, blood, or
saliva
86 (for teens) -98% effective
* FEMALE CONDOM *
a thin, loose-fitting and flexible plastic tube worn inside the vagina; prevents sharing of bodily fluids like semen,
blood, or saliva
79-95% effective
* SPONGE *
No protection against STIs!
80% effective
•soft, disk-shaped device made from polyurethane foam
•fits over the opening of a woman's uterus (cervix) to block and absorb semen
•contains spermicide – kills sperm
* CONTRACEPTIVE FOAM *
No protection against STIs!
•vaginal spermicide
•placed into the woman's vagina using an applicator
•kills or destroys sperm
and
•prevents sperm from reaching the egg by blocking the opening to the cervical canal
74% effective
Other Methods:
• *Family Planning/Fertility Awareness (74%)
• *Withdrawal (pull out before ejaculation-(69%)
• *Vasectomy and Tubal Ligation (99%)
• *No method (15%) Watch Birth Control video
ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH 99.9% EFFECTIVENESS?
What 99.9% means (Nationally):
• 1 of every 1,000 school buses would have a fatal accident each month
• 380,000 students would get food poisoning each year from school lunches
• 20,000 wrong drug prescriptions would go out each year
• 500 incorrect surgical operations would happen each week
• The post office would lose 2,000 pieces of mail each hour
