Medical Birth Control
Medical birth control are the methods and devices (or medicines) employed to prevent pregnancy.
These are birth control pills (and patches, and injections), condoms, diaphragms, male and female sterilization, and abortive techniques (day after pills).
All of the above are effective, but also have real drawbacks to their use. Birth control medications have side effects, and some of them are quite unpleasant.
Condoms are effective, but reduce significantly the satisfying part of sexual relations.
Female uterine dams are a bit messy and reduce well the spontaneity of the sexual act.
The radical solutions like sterilization are also having great drawbacks in case of a change of mind or partners.
Natural Birth Control
There is a wonderful method, highly effective, of natural birth control which can indicate when the woman
partner is ovulating, and thus at risk. This is accomplished in two ways:
Learning Your Partner
Taking a daily temperature reading (from the vagina) daily for two months, tracking the results, can show when and how long the woman partner is ovulating.
This method is generally used for women who wish to become pregnant; indicating to them on which days there are mostly futile.
Learn about your partner’s body, and fi
This is also a very good indication of when the woman is ovulating.
Another interesting and almost unbelievable factor is that some women ovulate twice.
That is, if the full moon falls closely to her natural ovulating event, she can release another ovum. So, you must track also the cycles of the moon. Learning about your partner will have collateral benefits you will
reap later.
How to Use Natural Birth Control
Once you have discovered well about your partner’s menstrual events, you can then chart which days are acceptable for unprotected sexual union.
As a rule of thumb, you may have unprotected sexual union for at least 10 days leading to the ovulation event.
Then, using the above information, or even some ovulation tests one can buy at the pharmacy, you refrain from unprotected sexual union for one week three days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and three days after ovulation.
Thereafter, you have another 10 to 12 days of free sexual activity.
he event of conception is not as easy as couples may think. The arrival of sperm to a released ovum has
The short window of about a day or two.
Thereafter, conception will not generally take place.
Some couples will practice unprotected sex during the one week conception segment of the menstrual process, but indeed with withdrawal at the moment of ejaculation.
This is highly ineffective and can and result in an unwanted pregnancy.
In this case, either abstinence during the one week “danger period”, or use of a condom is advised.
Birth control can be naturally practiced, and with some good common sense, some research into the woman partner’s conceptual time zones, can result in highly satisfying sexual relations.
