Natural birth control methods do not involve the use of hormones or chemicals but largely depend upon the cessation of sexual relations while ovulation occurs. Ovulation usually occurs about halfway between a woman's menses cycle for a period of up to 10 days. To be able to have success with this process a woman needs to be aware of her own cycle and approximately when ovulation occurs. This can be accomplished by using an ovulation indicator testing kit that can be purchased at most drug stores. If this method does not work there are different birth control methods that may help. One is the calendar rhythm and another one involves checking basal body temperature. In addition, there are oral contraceptives, condoms, and intrauterine devices but only abstinence is 100% effective. Permanent choices involve surgery such as a tubal ligation and a vasectomy. This type of decision is serious and should be made between a husband and wife. God's word is very clear about having sexual relations outside of marriage. "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body" (I Corinthians 6:18).
An ovulation indicator test kit will help a woman to pinpoint the day before ovulation begins. The presence of a hormone causes the stick to turn color once exposed to urine. The hormone is given off by the pituitary gland and is called LH or Luteinizing Hormone. Natural birth control methods such as an ovulation indicator test kit can help a couple to know when to abstain from relations so the chances of conceiving are minimal. When the stick turns color then ovulation will begin the next day and abstinence should begin then and last for at least 10 days afterwards.
The calendar rhythm involves keeping track of menses for a period of at least 8 months and then determining ovulation based upon approximately the shortest menses and the longest menses. The best way to figure this out is to subtract 18 days from the shortest menses and subtracting 11 days from the longest menses. The difference between the two will give the total number of days that ovulation normally occurs each month. Of all of the different birth control methods the calendar rhythm is one of the most unreliable. A woman who is regular with cycles throughout the year will have better success with this method than one who has irregular cycles. In today's world it is not uncommon to see couples living together out of wedlock. This is not the will of God for his children. "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband (I Corinthians 7:2).
A woman's body temperature normally drops right before an egg is released and then increases immediately afterwards. Using a process called basal body temperature a woman can determine by taking her temperature if ovulation is about to occur. The temperature fluctuation is only a difference of about 1 degree Fahrenheit. The best way to monitor the temperature is for a woman to take her temperature first thing every morning. The fluctuations in temperature should be recorded each month so that a woman will become fairly certain of her fertile time so that abstinence can be maintained. Natural birth control methods may take some time and effort but a woman who is determined will be able to have some success with this process.
Oral contraceptives are a very common form of birth control. Contraceptives cause an environment in the reproductive organs of the woman that is inhospitable for a fertilized egg to implant and can even prevent ovulation altogether. Of all of the different birth control methods using oral contraceptives is the most reliable and successful at preventing pregnancy. However, if a woman forgets to take a pill at the scheduled time each day then the effectiveness of this process diminishes. Oral contraceptives usually reduce the occurrence of premenstrual syndrome, help to regulate the menses cycle, and the amount of menses flow is reduced. Studies have shown that those who use oral contraceptives have a lower risk of developing ovarian or endometrial cancer. However, the side effects of taking them may be intolerable for some women. The most common side effects are nausea, breast tenderness, fluid retention, and depression. Major side effects include an increased risk of developing heart disease including atherosclerosis, blood clots, and heart attack. In addition, there are increased risks for developing breast cancer, gallbladder disease, cervical cancer, and liver tumors.
Intrauterine devices help to prevent pregnancy by preventing the fertilization of an egg and affecting the uterine lining so that implantation of the egg is not possible. Intrauterine devices are implanted in the woman's cervix. They contain a hormone that prevents fertilization to take place. Some women have cramping and are more susceptible to infection when using an IUD. Most doctors recommend using condoms along with intrauterine devices for more protection. Some women who have adverse reactions to an IUD such as excessive bleeding and heavier menses may want to talk to a doctor about natural birth control methods.
For couples who choose to not have anymore children there are permanent surgical options such as having a vasectomy or a tubal ligation as choices. The procedure for having a vasectomy is done on a male and is less invasive than a tubal ligation that is done on a female. Vasectomy's can be done as an outpatient or be performed in a doctor's office whereas a tubal ligation must be done in a hospital with anesthesia requiring recovery time and longer recuperation time. These surgeries cause sterilization and most of the time they can not be reversed. Couples who are not sure about becoming sterile should consider different birth control methods until they are absolutely positive they do not want to have anymore children. These types of decisions should be made prayerfully and thoughtfully and should not be done on a whim or made in a short period of time.
