Birth Control the Natural Way

By Rick East

Natural birth control is among the most well-liked options of couples who are into family planning. Many people are allergic to latex used in condoms, or sometimes to the lubricant and methods like the coil are not one hundred percent. Many women do not like the side effects of birth control pills or simply do not take any sort of drug. Then of course there are religious considerations as artificial birth control is frowned upon by many religions.

So long as you are faithful to each other natural birth control is among the safest options in terms of health. However you must realise it cannot be 100 % effective since it relies on the human body and brain both of which are distinctly unreliable! For people that are getting ready to use natural birth control as a means of family planning, they should understand that this birth control option cannot work for everyone, especially with those who have busy and erratic schedule.


Couples have to grasp that though natural birth control will have no side-effects, the utmost commitment and attention should be given for it to work.


Natural birth control options

When you have made a decision to get into a natural method of family planning, it is best that the couple is educated about the options they can take.Being educated implies that the couple has enough knowledge of the advantages and drawbacks of their options and will help them decide which one will truly work for them:

The following are some of the natural birth options couples who would like to use natural family planning can select from:

1. The Standard Days Technique. This is regarded as the most recent kind of natural birth control options out there. The Standard Days Strategy or SDM can help couples to determine their fertility schedules. SDM can be employed by tracking the length of the menstrual cycle and know when the 8th and 19th, the days when the lady is most likely  to be fertile should happen. Once these days have been determined, total avoidance should be practiced to ensure that no pregnancy will occur.

2. The CycleBeads Methodology. This strategy is closely-associated with Standard Days Strategy only that it uses a tool to mark fertility and menstrual dates. This specific tool being utilized in this strategy is named the "CycleBeads," a necklace with 32 color-coded beads in it. Attached is a ring made from rubber which is placed round the beads to mark the day the girl has the menstrual cycle. But this natural birth control option isn't for everybody.Only girls who have regular menstruation cycles can use this method because they have a longer period of defined low fertility levels.

3. The Ovulation Technique. Also called as the "cervical mucus method," this natural birth control option is known to be effective but not to all ladies in particular those that are not confident or willing enough to check their cervical mucus continually. Here, no pregnancy will happen once there isn't any cervical mucus present because no place for ovulation should be available. Ladies can check the cervical mucus by using their fingers, wiping a tissue on the opening of the vagina to test some mucus or by wearing a liner in the underclothes to check for the presence of the mucus. If there's a presence of sticky and stretchy mucus, it indicates that there'll be ovulation in the approaching days so sexual relations should be prohibited.

Other natural birth control options available include the "Rhythm or Calendar Method," the "Sympto-thermal Method," and the "Basal Body Temperature Method." There are ovulation calculators online that may help establish when you're ovulating.

As in using other birth control methods, it is generally best to get the opinion of doctors to ensure the health of both partners.
