Before you are ready to have a child, you need to take precautions every time you have sex.
Contraception is a major event in our lives, but there are still many misunderstandings about it.
Will taking too many birth control pills affect my ability to get pregnant in the future?
Many people have this concern: since birth control pills can prevent pregnancy, can taking too many still result in pregnancy?
There's no need to worry. While birth control pills do have some side effects, they don't affect fertility . The misconception arises because women's fertility declines with age, leading to the belief that long-term use of birth control pills will cause infertility.
It's important to note that a woman's ovarian function gradually declines after the age of 35. If you have a strong desire to have a baby, you should plan your time accordingly.
Birth control pills have side effects, so is the "safe period" truly safe?
Some women who don't want to take birth control pills will try to prevent pregnancy by guessing their safe period.
However, the "safe period " is not absolutely "safe." While the chances of pregnancy are indeed much lower during this time, they are not zero. This is because ovulation doesn't occur on a fixed day; if it happens earlier or later, it might coincide with an unplanned pregnancy. Furthermore, sperm can survive in a woman's reproductive tract for several days, so if unprotected sex occurs during this time, the chances of conception are still considerable.
The safe period is divided into before and after ovulation, with the safe period after ovulation being "safer" than the safe period before ovulation.
Do I have to wear an IUD for the rest of my life?
Many people still hold negative views about IUDs, such as "outdated," "forced," and "irreversible." The main reasons why most women refuse to have an IUD are the perception that it is harmful to their health and that it is "discriminatory."
Actually, IUDs are better for your health. Modern IUDs are safe, convenient, and long-lasting with reversibility. If you don't plan to get pregnant, you can wear one without needing any other contraception. And if you want to get pregnant, you can remove it without affecting your ability to conceive.
Different types of IUDs have varying "expirations." If the IUD expires, it needs to be removed or replaced promptly. If you have passed menopause and there is no longer a possibility of unintended pregnancy, you also need to have it removed.
Besides these, there is another very common misconception.
Yes, it's emergency contraception. It's not the same as the "birth control pills" we usually refer to. We generally mean short-acting oral contraceptives, which need to be taken daily for preventative purposes. Emergency contraception, on the other hand, has significantly more side effects and is usually used as an emergency measure after unprotected sex; frequent use is not recommended.
