How to Choose the Best Birth Control for You
With numerous birth control methods available today, finding the best option for your needs can be challenging. This article explores different types of birth control to help you make an informed decision.
Why Consider Birth Control?
If you're not ready to have a child emotionally or financially, using an effective birth control method is crucial. Options range from implants and IUDs to pills, sterilizations, and injections. However, not all methods are equally effective.
Ineffective Methods
Despite the popularity of some methods, options like condoms, spermicide, and natural planning are often less reliable. Non-prescription and natural methods generally have higher failure rates, so choosing wisely is important.
Choosing the Best Birth Control
Birth control methods can be categorized into non-prescription, prescription, and natural planning options.
Non-Prescription Methods
1. Condoms
Condoms are widely available in drugstores and supermarkets. Latex condoms are more effective than those made from polyurethane. Avoid using condoms with lotions, oils, or petroleum jelly; instead, opt for non-oily lubricants.
2. Spermicide
Available in forms like jelly, cream, and foam, spermicide contains chemicals to kill sperm. However, as a standalone method, it is less effective.
Prescription Methods
1. Birth Control Pills
There are two main types: mini-pills and combined oral contraceptives. A doctor’s prescription is necessary to purchase these.
2. Cervical Cap
This soft rubber cup is inserted into the vagina but is smaller than a diaphragm. It can be difficult to insert, so a fitting at a clinic is recommended.
3. Norplant
Norplant involves placing progestin-filled rods under the skin of the upper arm. There are two types, six-rod and two-rod, which must be inserted or removed by a specialist.
Natural Planning
Natural planning, also known as periodic abstinence or fertility awareness, involves tracking fertility cycles to avoid pregnancy. This method requires monitoring ovulation through body temperature, vaginal mucus changes, and the menstrual cycle. Consultation with a gynecologist is advised for accuracy.
Conclusion
Selecting the right birth control method depends on personal preferences, lifestyle, and medical advice. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help ensure efficient protection against unintended pregnancies.
