I hear if you eat abundantly of spicy stuff, that will work. Maybe old wives myth. The type of birth control you choose depends on your needs. Some ancestors only stipulation to prevent pregnancy. Other people may also want to protect themselves or their partner from diseases that can be passed by having sex. These diseases are call sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Some STDs include acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), chlamydia, herpes, genital wart, gonorrhea and syphilis.
Barrier methods include the diaphragm, the cervical cap and condoms. These methods prevent pregnancy by blocking sperm from getting into the uterus. Barrier methods must be used every time you enjoy sex.
"IUD" stands for "intrauterine device." An IUD is put in a woman's uterus by her doctor. It's made of flexible plastic. It isn't set exactly how IUDs prevent pregnancy. They seem to stop sperm from reaching the egg or prevent the egg from attaching to the uterus.
Some IUDs used within the past be related to serious health problems. Today IUDs are safer, but they still hold some risks. Most doctors prefer to use IUDs only surrounded by women who have already have a baby. Side effects of IUDs include heavier bleeding and stronger cramps during period.
Natural family planning requires a couple to revise when in the woman's cycle she can acquire pregnant (usually 4 days before and 2 days after ovulation). They must use a ring method of birth control or not have intercourse during those days. There are a few ways to keep track of a woman's ovulation. All of them require greatly of planning and commitment.
