calculating their fertile period, assuming that ovulation occurs about 14 days
before the next cycle.
advantages: inexpensive, no chemicals or hormones
disadvantages: not very reliable
better if combined with basal body temp or billings method
basal body temperature Answer - A birth control based on body temperature
and time for ovulation
temperature can drop 1/2 degree F just before ovulation and rise a full degree
when ovulating
advantages: inexpensive, convenient, no side effects
disadvantages: temperature can vary for many reasons
cervical mucus (billings) method Answer - following ovulation, the cervical
mucus becomes thin and flexible, this method is about a person recognizing

red marks first day of menstrual flow
brown are safe days
white is fertile days

before they can enter the cervix
changes the vaginal pH to a strong acid level, not fit for sperm survival
male and female condoms Answer - A male condom is a latex rubber or
synthetic sheath that is placed over the erect penis before coitus to trap the
sperm.
A female condoms are sheaths made of latex or polyurethane, pre-lubricated
with a spermicide so, the same as male condoms they offer protection against
conception as well as STIs and HIV.
Not good if allergic to latex!
diaphragm Answer - a dome-shaped cup with a flexible rim made of latex or
silicone that fits snugly over the cervix with spermicidal cream or gel
advantages: gives a person more control over contraception than a condom
disadvantages: inconvenient, interferes with spontaneity, requires application
of spermicidal cream before and after
Education: replace every two years and refit for 15lb weight fluctuation,
pregnancies, and surgeries.
Must leave in for a minimum of 6 hours, max of 24
cervical cap Answer - soft rubber shaped like a thimble that fits snugly over the
cervix.
higher failure rate because they become dislodged
keep in for max 48 hours
