Methods of Contraception
Methods of Contraception
Tina and Dan should look into a few choices of contraception if they are looking to have a baby within a year. The option I would recommend would be what is referred to as oral contraceptive (also known as the pill). I feel the pill is the best option because Tina does not have to worry about the possibility of getting an STD since she is being faithful to her husband and has only one partner. When the pill is taken correctly and on time every time, the pill is 100% effective. Although the pill is able to be that effective, it also able to get out of your system within three months and your body will start to ovulate again. The only down fall to the pill is the possibility of side effects such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and these side effects only are temporary. The pill could also cause high blood pressure, and although it is rare if this occurs your doctor will usually have you change to another form of contraception.
As for Linda who chooses to be single but have multiple partners I would recommend to double up on protection. The first of the combination would be the pill to ensure that she does not get pregnant because of this having the lowest possible side effects. The other part of the combination would be a condom. The condom although may interfere with the sensation, when accompanied with a spermicide has better results of keeping you from getting pregnant. The condom also is the only form of contraceptive other than abstinence that prevents STD’s. Even though Linda chooses this lifestyle now she may want to settle down and start a family when she meets the right person. With this combination it will provide her the option to change her mind with the least amounts of side effects.
There are many different options out there to keep a person safe, and as long as you know your body and you are informed of what is out there you have the ability to choose what is best for you and your lifestyle.

    First there is the issue of birth control and the many different types they could use. Some of the women that Nancy Shcheper-Hughes interviewed said that they have used the pill for a brief time. Although it was effective they considered it dangerous. They said that it would cause cancer, swelling, headaches, nausea, and extreme nervousness. (pg. 333) Then there are diaphragms which are not available in local drugstores or not known to the women and with the men they are known to wear condoms but only with the prostitutes in the zona. (pg. 333) The older women of Alto have many different herbal teas, baths, washes, and infusions that would effect a women’s period so that it would be late and were stated to having “abortive” properties. (pg. 333-334) The women know that these herbs can be dangerous in early stages of pregnancy but they are constantly sick and taking so many different drugs and herbs that if an abortion were to happen then it was an “unintended consequence”. (pg. 335)…

    In my opinion, Vasalgel and the “Clean Sheets Pill” seem to be two effective forms of contraception being considered. Positives to Vasagel are that it is similar to a vasectomy, but safer because of the injection rather than cutting into the body, and is said to last ten years (newmalecontracaption.org, n.d.). I think that considering the fact that having a vasectomy seems significantly strenuous and harmful on a male, the Vasagel is a strong alternative to this procedure, and something males would be much more likely to use for this reason. Also, I think that because it lasts ten years, that creates more of an incentive to, as that is longer than most female contraceptives that I am aware of. Continuing on, in terms of the “Clean Sheets Pill,”…
