  13. What are contraceptives??

  14. Types of contraceptives • There are two main types of contraceptives: • Hormonal • Barrier

  15. Hormonal contraceptives • These methods release certain hormones that prevent a woman from ovulating. If a woman cannot ovulate then there is no egg to fertilize. These methods require a doctor’s visit and prescription. They are only for women. • Examples: the pill, patch, Depo-Provera (the shot), implant and the ring.

  16. Effectiveness • The Pill • 91% effective with typical use • The Patch • 91% effective with typical use • The Implant • Just over 99% effective with typical use • The Shot • Just over 99% effective with typical use • The Ring • 91% effective with typical use

  17. Barrier Contraceptives • These methods act as a wall to keep sperm from reaching the egg. Condoms are the ONLY contraceptives that prevent against STD’s and pregnancy. There are both male and female barrier contraceptives. All of these methods are available at a drug store except the diaphragm. • Examples: male/female condoms, the sponge and the diaphragm.

  18. Effectiveness • Male/Female Condoms • Male: 82% effective with typical use • Female: 79% effective with typical use • The sponge • Between 76% and 88% effective with typical use • The diaphragm • 88% effective with typical use

  19. Methods that are NOT effective • Withdrawal • Ineffective because preejaculatory secretions may contain sperm. It may also carry STD’s • Douching • It may actually help the sperm reach the egg by pushing it farther towards the cervix and uterus.

  20. ABSTINENCE • The best way to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy and STD’s is abstinence.

  21. Who’s job is it??

  22. Who is responsible for birth control?? • Both people should be responsible for birth control and asking the other person if they have some kind of protection. • Decide before hand that you will not have intercourse unless there is some sort of protection (condom, pill, etc.).

  23. Where can I go for more information and/or help??

  24. You should never be afraid to ask an adult you trust for help or for more information. • People you can go to for help: • School counselor • Clergy (bishop, priest etc.) • Trusted teacher • Parents • Go to a source that is most likely to be supportive and give you accurate information.
