Caya's Diaphragm
The first one I chose is Caya, it is categorized as the barrier method. Caya is diaphragm that blocks sperm form reaching to the egg, which has to pair with Caya gel to use. The principle is similar to a condom. Caya is inserted into the top of the female’s vagina before having sex. After usage of Caya, it has to be taken out and cleaned before the next usage. The advantage is that the gel will deactivate the sperm. Additionally, the diaphragm itself physically blocks sperms to contact with the egg. Downside is, it is only 86.7% effective. That number is pretty low for a contraceptive. The second one is Skyla, is categorized as the hormonal method. Skyla is an IUD that is inserted into the uterus and it releases progestin hormone.

    Tina and Dan are a newly married couple who, prior to marriage, practiced abstinence, and are hoping to start a family within a year. There are many different types of birth control for them to choose from, though the two options that may be best are either a low hormone birth control pill or a condom. The advantage of a birth control pill is that it can be highly effective, and when a couple is not concerned with sexually transmitted infections, it can help to regulate periods, reduce cramping, and is over 99% effective when used properly. Also, a birth control pill can be stopped at virtually any time without serious repercussions, and once the pill is stopped, the woman can conceive during her next ovulation cycle. A disadvantage of the pill is that it is sometimes hard to remember to take, and missing even one dose reduces how effective it is. The other option is using condoms. Condoms have been said to lower both male and female sensation, and can tear, though this is rare. However, a condom is a very temporary form of birth control, and the protection is gone as soon as the condom is, allowing it to not interfere with fertility longer than the time it is worn.…

    Through her feminist perspective, Sherwin argues that what is important is not only a woman 's right to choose, but instead a movement that addresses all of the conditions of women 's liberation. Sherwin argues that women must have the freedom to choose abortions because in many cases women are unable to control their own sexuality. If women are unable to receive abortions on demand this subordination is likely to increase because of the responsibility of caring for a child, and the increased financial need, and the decreased economic opportunities associated with child care. Furthermore, Sherwin argues that birth control alone cannot be expected to prevent pregnancy since there is no form of birth control available that is both safe and reliable. The most effective means available, namely the birth control pill or the IUD, are known to pose health hazards for women, and therefore she cannot be expected to spend her reproductive years on these medications. As for the safer methods, being diaphragms and condoms combined with spermicidal foam or jelly is inaccurate, awkward, and expensive. This, she argues leaves only one safe and fully effective form of birth control, the use of a barrier method with the backup option of…

    Pill, patch, implant, and the IUD are different type of the birth control method that helps women to prevent pregnancy. Most of the women commonly use birth control pills. The birth control pill didn’t come into the picture until the 1960’s and since then it has changed the society and womanhood. Welch (2010) have expressed that the birth control pill did manage to change women’s life beyond the main purpose of it, which is to delay having a family. Other reasons for birth control methods are: reducing childbearing, price of delaying children, decrease in family size, postponing parenthood due to higher education and job security, self-identity, delaying marriage plan to have a better spousal choice, and etc. (Nisen, 2013). The main element…

    The Implanon is 99% effective and can stay in for up to three years. It is a small rod (size of a match stick) that is inserted into a woman’s arm, below the skin. Implanon releases progestin, which prevents a woman from releasing eggs and thickens the cervical mucus. Like the Implanon the IUD is also 99% effective and can stay in for up to five years. Mirena is the only company that offers a hormonal IUD. Copper T (Para Guard) has a non-hormonal IUD and can be left in for 10 years. The third most effective is “the shot” or known as Depo. This is a hormonal injection given to a woman every three months. This prevents ovulation and eventually stops women from getting their menstrual cycle (will return due to failure to take shots).

    Are you a parent? Has your teen daughter had a boyfriend for the last few months? Have you talked to your teen about sex? Do you want your teen to have unsafe sex? Is there pro’s and con’s to birth control? Parents may have talked to their teens about sex and be confident that there is no sexually relationship, although the parent may be worried about what could happen if the teen decides to have sex later in the relationship. Parents need to realize that teenagers may engage in sex, which would put their teens at risk for catching sexually transmitted diseases in which some may not be treatable. There are pro’s and con’s to birth control pills but there is other types of birth controls to fit the needs of everyone and the doctor can help assist the parent and teen in finding the proper birth control method.

Parents have a life just like their teens and parents cannot always be around to know what is happening with their teen so the questions that parents need to be asked is do you want your teenager to become pregnant or catch a sexually transmitted disease that may or may not can be treated?…
