Barrier Contraceptives • Methods that physically or chemically block sperm from reaching an egg AND provide a BARRIER between direct skin to skin contact • Act as a physical block between you and your sexual partner • Great for STD protection!
Male Condom: • Male condoms are 82 to 98 percent effective at preventing pregnancy • Condoms can only be used once • Do not use oil-based lubricants such as massage oils, baby oil, lotions, or petroleum jelly.Theywill weaken the condom, causing it to tear or break. • Water-based are the best – can prevent breaking of condom. • Good choices: Latex condoms and polyurethane • Bad choices: Never choose “natural” or “lambskin”
Female Condom: • Female condoms are 79 to 95 percent effective • Worn by the woman, this method keeps sperm from getting into her body • It can be inserted up to eight hours before sexual intercourse (though not necessary)
Dental Dam • Small, thin, square pieces of latex • Used to keep partners' body fluids out of each other's bodies • Can help to prevent skin-to-skin contact • Placed on the vulva or the anus when the mouth, lips, or tongue are used to sexually arouse a partner. • Can also cut a condom open on one side
Hormonal Methods • Methods that prevent the release of an egg (ovulation) • Prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus (prevents pregnancy). • NOhormonal methods reduce chances of STD’s!
Oral Contraceptives • Also called “the pill,” • Some contain estrogen, progestin, or mix of other hormones depending on pill • The pill is 91 to 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. • Prescribed by doctor • A pill is taken at the same time each day (once a day for three weeks, no pill fourth week -will get menstrual period)
Birth Control Patch • This skin patch is worn on the lower abdomen, buttocks, or upper body • The patch is 91 to 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy • It releases hormones progestin and estrogen into the bloodstream • You put on a new patch once a week for three weeks. During the fourth week, you do not wear a patch, so you can have a menstrual period
Vaginal Ring • The birth control ring releases the hormones progestin and estrogen • It is 91 to 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy • Ring goes inside vagina up around your cervix • You wear the ring for three weeks, take it out for the week you have your period, and then put in a new ring • This method does not protect you from HIV or other STDs.
Birth Control Shot • Every 3 months (or 12 weeks), women get shots of the hormone progestin in the buttocks or arm from their doctor. • It is 94 to 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. • It does not protect you from HIV or other STDs
Emergency Contraception • Also known as the “morning after pill” • The pills are 75 to 89 percent effective at preventing pregnancy • Can be taken up to FIVE days AFTER unprotected sex • Effectiveness decreases after 24 hours • Should NEVER be used as regular birth control • Emergency contraception should only be used after no birth control was used during sex, or if the birth control method failed, such as if a condom broke
Intrauterine Device • It is placed inside the uterus by a doctor. • 99% effective at preventing pregnancy • Copper IUD: Can stay for up to 10 years • Interferes with sperm, fertilization, and prevents implantation • Hormonal IUD: Can stay for up to 5 years • It releases a small amount of hormone each day to keep you from getting pregnant.
Sterilization • Vasectomy: This operation is done to keep a man’s sperm from going to his penis, so his ejaculate never has any sperm in it that can fertilize an egg. • Operation is more simple than tying a woman’s tubes
Sterilization • Tubal ligation or “tying tubes.” • A woman can have her fallopian tubes tied (or closed) to stop eggs from being fertilized • Over time, the ends of your fallopian tubes could fuse back together, and it may be possible to get pregnant
Review • If male puts on a condom the wrong way, he should take it off, and put it on the right way? Yes or no? • NO!!! There could still be pre-ejaculatory semen (WITH SPERM) on the outside, now heading to the female….std’s and pregnancy are possible. • GET A NEW ONE!!!!
