Considerations for an Appropriate Birth Control

By Daryl B. Chapman


Good and bad things have both been said about birth control methods. Loads of studies have shown that there are side effects to it which are often awful. However, there are still those who choose to employ them because, for the good part of it, it works to control population boom and avoid unwanted pregnancy. And through birth control methods, responsible building of the family size according to the ability to provide for the family's needs is achieved whether they are of the natural method or the artificial.

The most practiced birth controls are the natural methods like breastfeeding and rhythm method. But for some, artificial controls like pills work better. At the end of the day, it is still your decision whether to use birth control methods or not, and which birth control methods will you agree to. Below are some ways to help you make a decision which type of birth control is suitable for you.

Knowledge

One can only get into the right decisions in choosing the suitable birth control kits if one is learned of the product's capability or potency. There are quite a number of birth control paraphernalia including condoms, pills, injectables, spermicide, and diaphragm to name a few where each one has its own system of application. By knowing all that goes on each kind of birth control, you will be able to make an learned decision as to which method will you use. Utmost consideration must be based on effectiveness and safety. Consulting an OB-GYNE must also be your first move to help you determine your appropriate birth control option. He will not just examine the birth control's strength to you but also your body's response to it so he can give you a safe and effective birth control method.

Religious and personal belief

People's beliefs, spiritual and personal, are the weightiest base for any decision-making. Not all religious beliefs subscribe to birth control and, further, the use of artificial birth controls, and this influences those who are along the line of this spiritual conviction. They only accept natural methods like the rhythm method as it doesn't make use of any external device or chemical. This is where the decision at which method to use birth control stems from largely. If one is placing his belief on the principles which doesn't allow for artificial birth control, methods like injectables and pills will be objectionable.

Lifestyle and Activities

Habit is one more thing that you should ponder prior to deciding on which manner to use in family planning. One method or type of birth control may be good for others whilst it might be not so convenient for some not because of health reasons but because they differ in their lifestyle. For example, there are those who observe taking birth control pills to be strenuous because they have to repeatedly remind themselves to have them each night, facing the fact that there is a repercussion for dereliction. But just a word of caution to those with active lifestyle who opt taking pills as birth control measure: one miss of a capsule is equivalent to a baby. Bear in mind also the frequency in which you and your husband engage in sexual activity. If it's not quite often, then consider that birth control method that would suit to that lifestyle. There are some husbands whose work doesn't let them to be with their family for months in a row; this should also be given impartial consideration.

Reflection of personal situation aids one family in choosing the appropriate birth control approach for their responsible family planning. Consultations with medical professionals for their knowledgeable opinions on the whole lot on birth limitation methods should also be espoused. And when all things have been perused carefully, you and your partner can now decide at which measure you should run for.
