Planning Methods (Contraceptives, Pills, Condoms)

1.
Oral Contraceptive Pills

This is a pill that you will take once a day. It contains estrogen and progestin
which stop the ovaries from releasing eggs. The pill should be taken at the same
time every day whether you have sex or not. It’s important to take the pills as
directed because forgetting to take the pills makes them less effective. It permits
sexual spontaneity and doesn’t interrupt sex.
2.
Barrier Methods
This method works by stopping the sperm to enter in the vagina. Basically, there
are three main barrier methods of contraception, the male condoms, female
condoms and diaphragms.
The Male Condom is a fine rubber covering that is rolled on to the penis before
sex. It is the most effective method of preventing STD (Sexually Transmitted
Diseases). It is 98% effective when using the male condom properly. Condoms
have an expiry date so before using, make sure that it is not expired.
The Female Condom have one open end. It is held in place by a ring at either
end. The closed end of the female condom covers the cervix and the open end is
positioned at the entrance of the vagina. It is 90% effective when using properly
and it also helps to prevent STD.
The Diaphragm is a dome-shaped device made of silicone that is put into the
woman’s vagina. It must be put in place before sex and left in for at least six
hours afterwards. It is 80-96% effective when using properly. But its prevention
for STD is still unknown.
3. Permanent Contraception
It prevents future pregnancies. Permanent contraception is either tubal ligation
and vasectomy.
VASECTOMY - Vasectomy is an operation to divide the two vas deferens. After
vasectomy, sperms will continue to be produced by the testes but are no longer
transported out of the body. During sexual intercourse, ejaculation will still occur
but the semen will contain only seminal fluid and no sperm. The operation is a
permanent contraceptive method with a success rate of over 99%. Vasectomy is
intended to be permanent.
TUBAL LIGATION - Tubal

ligation is surgery which
block the fallopian tubes with small clips. Fallopian tubes are the pathway for the
egg to enter the uterus. This method is sometimes also called sterilisation or
“having your tubes tied”. Tubal ligation is over 99% effective at preventing
pregnancy. It is considered to last forever (permanent). You can get a tubal
ligation done by a specialist gynaecologist in a hospital or day surgery. There can
be damage to blood vessels or the bowel through surgery. This is very rare.

Long-Acting Reversible Contraception

It is a contraceptive that lasts for a long time. There are two types of LARC in
Aotearoa New Zealand: the intra uterine device (IUD) that lasts for five to ten
years and the implant that lasts for three or five years. They are sometimes called
“fit and forget” contraception because you don’t need to remember it every day or
every month. LARCs are the most effective types of contraception. They are more
than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
IUD - "IUD" stands for "intrauterine device." Shaped like a "T" and a bit bigger
than a quarter, an IUD fits inside your uterus. It prevents pregnancy by
stopping sperm from reaching and fertilizing eggs. UDs affect the way sperm
move and survive in the uterus, stopping these cells from reaching and fertilising
the ovum (egg). IUDs can also change the lining of the uterus to stop a fertilised
ovum from sticking. The hormonal IUD can make the fluid at the opening to the
uterus thicker, stopping sperm from getting through. It can also affect ovulation
by changing the hormones that cause an ovum to be released each month.
5. Rhythm Method
The rhythm method, also called the
calendar method or the calendar
rhythm method, is a form of natural
family planning. To use the rhythm
method, you track your menstrual
history to predict when you'll ovulate. This helps you determine when you're most
likely to conceive. Using the rhythm method for birth control requires careful
record keeping and persistence. If you don't want to conceive, you and your
partner must avoid having sex or use a barrier method of contraception during
your fertile days each month. The rhythm method is an inexpensive and safe way
to help you chart your fertility — the time of month when you're most likely to be
able to get pregnant.
6. Basal Body Temperature

The basal body temperature method is a method of natural family planning that
requires only the purchase of a very accurate thermometer. The method, which
calls for tracking the woman's body temperature on a daily basis, helps to
determine which days of the month she is fertile. After a woman ovulates
(releases an egg from the ovary), her body temperature rises slightly. While
tracking the basal body temperature during multiple menstrual cycles cannot
actually predict when you are going to ovulate, it can help to establish a pattern.
You will then be able to understand when you are likely to ovulate.
