    Study Notes

    Fertility Overview

    • Fertilization is contingent on sperm availability during ovulation.
    • Female fertility typically concludes at menopause, which averages around 50 years.
    • Joint fertility involves shared decision-making between partners regarding childbirth.

    Family Planning Methods

    • Fertility Awareness-Based (FAB) Methods focus on identifying fertile and infertile periods within a woman's menstrual cycle through observation and tracking body changes.
    • Couples using FAB methods must abstain during fertile periods to prevent pregnancy and time intercourse during fertile windows to achieve pregnancy.
    • FAB methods are completely natural, have no side effects, and maintain over 95% effectiveness rate.

    Signs of Fertility

    • Cervical Mucus Changes: Variation in cervical mucus signals fertile and infertile days.
    • Basal Body Temperature: Tracking temperature helps identify ovulation times.
    • Menstrual cycle tracking begins on the first day of menstruation.

    Types of FAB Methods

    • Cervical Mucus/Billings Ovulation Method (CMM/BOM): Requires daily observation of cervical mucus. This method can achieve 97% effectiveness with perfect usage. Dry days after wetness indicate infertility.

    Progestin-Only Injectables (DMPA)

    • DMPA is an injectable contraceptive that prevents ovulation, with a typical effectiveness of about 96% and less than 1% with perfect timing.
    • The return of fertility can take approximately four months after stopping DMPA.
    • DMPA may cause altered menstrual bleeding patterns, weight gain, headaches, and mood changes, and poses risks like loss of bone density but protects against certain reproductive health issues.

    Vasectomy

    • A safe, minimally invasive surgical procedure for male sterilization by cutting and tying the vas deferens, thus preventing sperm from entering semen.
    • The effectiveness rate is 99.9% when used correctly and slightly lower with typical use (99.8%).
    • It is a permanent option requiring surgical expertise, and does not protect against STIs.
    • Common side effects include temporary discomfort, while severe warning signs include excessive bleeding and prolonged pain.

    U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC)

    • MEC categories classify contraceptive methods based on individual health conditions:
      • Category 1: No restrictions; method's advantages outweigh risks.
      • Category 2: Theoretical risks generally outweighed by advantages.
      • Category 3: Risks usually outweigh advantages; not recommended unless no alternatives.
      • Category 4: Unacceptable health risk if method used.

    Contraceptive Method Summary

    • Key methods include hormonal contraceptives (oral pills, injectables), barrier methods like condoms, and long-acting options (IUDs, implants, sterilization).
    • Long-acting methods such as IUDs and implants are reversible, while sterilization methods are permanent.
    • Fertility planning should always consider individual health circumstances and involve consultation with healthcare providers.
