    Study Notes

    Contraceptive Options

    • COITUS INTERRUPTUS (Pull-out Method): Requires all parties to understand the risks associated with sperm remaining in the vagina. Pre-ejaculate can contain sperm so pregnancy is still possible. Super-swimmers still pose a risk of pregnancy. Patients should be mindful of the risk for STIs.
    • NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING: Non-hormonal, but relies on user compliance. Involves tracking menstrual cycles and avoiding sex during certain days. Includes daily basal body temperature and vaginal mucus observations. This is to track ovulation. Avoid sex four days before and three to four days after ovulation. This method is still at risk for STIs.
    • CALENDAR RHYTHM METHOD: Non-hormonal and compliance-dependent. Patients track menstrual cycles for 6 months. The fertile period is calculated based on shortest and longest cycle lengths. Sex is avoided within this time frame to avoid pregnancy. This method still carries risks of STIs.
    • STANDARD DAYS METHOD: Non-hormonal. Patient compliance is essential and the method depends on womens cycle. Instructions: avoid sex on days 8-19 of your cycle. This method is suitable for women with cycles of 26-32 days but is unreliable for shorter or longer cycles.
    • BBT (basal body temperature): Non-hormonal and patient compliance-dependent. Instructions include taking temperature immediately after waking up before getting out of bed.

    Barrier Methods

    • Spermicides: Chemical that debilitate sperm. Commonly a chemical named N-9. Comes in different forms: tablet, suppository, film, and creams. Must be inserted into the vagina. Frequent use may increase HIV transmission.
    • Condoms: Common contraceptive method. May break down with certain substances (e.g., petroleum jelly). Condoms can provide protection against pregnancy but may not entirely eliminate the risks of STIs.
    • Female Condoms (vaginal sheath): Non-latex or latex. Places inside the vagina. Use condoms along with other methods to reduce risks of STIs.
    • Diaphragm: Dome shaped device that is placed inside the vagina to cover the cervix to prevent pregnancy. Contains spermicide to destroy sperm. Must remain in place for 6 hours after sex at a maximum.
    • Cervical Cap: similar to diaphragm, and the instructions for use are similar as well.

    Hormonal Methods

    • Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs): Combined oral contraceptives containing estrogen and progesterone to inhibit ovulation. It alters cervical mucus, and the endometrium.
    • Transdermal Contraceptive System ("The Patch"): Estrogen and progesterone applied to the skin. Instructions: place on the skin. Suitable for women who are 36 + years old or smokers.
    • Vaginal Contraceptive Ring: Estrogen and progesterone in a ring inserted into the vagina.

    Other Important Information

    • Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM): breastfeeding exclusively.
    • Emergency Contraception: Oral, or IUD forms within 72-120 hours (depending on the form).
    • IUD (Intrauterine Devices): Prevent pregnancy and are inserted by a licensed physician. The copper IUD lasts for 10 years, and the Mirena lasts 5 years.
