    • Consider personal values, financial factors, and relationship status (short/long term).
    • Evaluate prior experiences with contraception and future family planning desires.

    Ideal Characteristics of Contraceptives

    • Should be safe, effective, and culturally compatible.
    • Must be free of bothersome side effects and easily obtainable.
    • Should not negatively impact future pregnancies after discontinuation.

    Necessary Assessments

    • Vital signs, Pap smear, pregnancy testing, STI screening, and evaluation for anemia.
    • Review obstetric history including STIs, pregnancies, and compliance with past contraceptive methods.
    • Subjective assessment of patient’s beliefs and understanding of conception.
    • Sexual practices and attitudes towards sex and body image.

    Natural Methods of Reproductive Life Planning

    • Lactation Amenorrhea: Temporary infertility linked to breastfeeding; not reliable post 6 months.
    • Coitus Interruptus: Withdrawal before ejaculation; ineffective due to pre-ejaculatory leakage.

    • Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Method: Monitors temperature changes indicating ovulation.
    • Cervical Mucus Method: Observes changes in mucus consistency related to ovulation.
    • Two-Day Method: Avoid intercourse if secretions noted for two consecutive days.
    • Symptothermal Method: Combines cervical mucus and BBT assessments.

    Hormonal Contraceptives

    • Oral Contraceptives: Composed of synthetic hormones, packaged in 28-day regimens.
    • Mini Pills: Progestin-only options for women unable to take estrogen-based pills.
    • Transdermal Patch: Releases hormones through skin; replaced weekly.
    • Vaginal Rings: Flexible rings delivering hormones; kept in place for 21 days.
    • Subdermal Implants: Hormonal implants placed under the skin; effective for extended periods.
    • Intramuscular Injections: Administered every 12 weeks to prevent ovulation.

    Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

    • Small plastic devices placed in the uterus to prevent fertilization.
