Re: About Daphne Pills
« Reply #48 on: November 06, 2012, 10:42:33 am »
This is to EMPOWER everyone, especially WOMEN, so that there will always be an INFORMED CHOICE. Paki-remind na lang po ang ating mga OB-GYN doctors na sila dapat ang nagbibigay ng complete information at huwag masyadong ma-overwhelm ng mga free items and other perks na binibigay ng mga med reps para i-endorse ang kanilang brand of contraceptives na makakasama sa baby natin at sa mga kababaihan.

Ang effect Daphne Pills...

Abortifacient- pinaninipis o tinutuyo nito ang dugo sa matris ("thins the lining of the uterus"). Mababa o "lowered" ang dosage nito na pumipigil sa fertilization. Nabubuo ang baby, pero pagdating sa Uterus, wala siyang makapitan, kaya nalalaglag siya at nasasama sa susunod na menstruation.

Bukod sa pagiging Pregnancy Category D: "positive evidence of human foetal risk," kung mapapansin natin, sa Side Effects, may breakthrough bleeding at spotting.

Pakiramdaman...may mga nagsasabi na nakakaramdam sila na parang buntis sila. Totoong nabubuntis pa rin kahit gumamit ng Daphne Pills. Pero dahil sa sangkap nito na Progestogen, nagkakaroon ng "Chemical Abortion"

Daphne...lynestrenol; Belongs to the class of estren derivative progestogens used in progestogenic hormone preparations.

Mechanism of Action: Daphne is a progestogen-only oral contraceptive pill. Progestogens are derived from the natural hormone progesterone or 19-nortestosterone, which actions are similar to those of progesterone.
Daphne stops ovulation, thins the lining of the uterus and thickens the cervical mucus.

Pregnancy Category (US FDA): Category D: There is positive evidence of human foetal risk

Side Effects: Some women may experience side effects eg, nausea, vomiting, headache, breast discomfort, depression, skin rashes and slight weight change. Menstrual irregularities eg, amenorrhea, breakthrough bleeding, spotting and menorrhagia are common with progestogen-only

    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”.

    My mother died at the age of 50 due to the strain of 18 pregnancies, consisting of 11 births and 7 miscarriages. I was the sixth out of those 11 children. In 1900, I began training as a nurse; I wanted to aid pregnant women. Since then, I’ve seen many poor young mothers become extremely ill and die of the strain from frequent pregnancies. During a house visit, I met a 28 year old mother of 3 with another child on the way, who died of self induced abortion. I remember seeing her body, I remember earlier visits, and I remember how desperate she was to get out of her situation. After witnessing these terrible tragedies I quit nursing in 1902 and devoted my life to helping women before they were driven to dangerous and extreme measures. I then got the idea of a “magic pill” that women could take to help prevent pregnancy.…

    The ideas that are given in this book will stimulated my mind into becoming a leader and perhaps enabled me to bring my company ahead of the competitors. It was amazing to see how Collins spent nearly five years in comparing the mediocre companies with great companies. One most notable difference is on how the level 5 leader responds to each situation that the company faces. This book will helped me to understand that if a company becomes big, its not because of the skilled salesperson nor huge investment in advertising, but it is simply because the great CEO that bring the company into such success, was proactive in doing so, and was not afraid to face the brutal facts.…

    Sterilization is the surgical process after which a person can no longer reproduce. The process in permanent and irreversible. It is a choice for people but laws are considering to enforce it on the unfortunate group of drug-addicted mothers. The drug-addicted mothers are wholly held responsible for the Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), a group of problems that a new born has to face because the mother was dependant on illegal or prescribed drugs. The baby becomes addicted with the mother, and is still dependent on drug at the time of birth. With an increase in the number of babies born addicted to drugs, the lawmakers considered forced sterilization upon drug-addicted mothers as the most effective solution to eradicate this issue forever. However, such a prospect is appalling as it violates human rights, contradicts established laws, legalizes the practice of eugenics, and is a very risky process.…

    In the novel, “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare fate was the cause of almost all events of the book. Fate is defined as, “the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power”. Throughout the whole book the decisions that Romeo and Juliet make have obvious outcomes that seem to be invisible to the characters. The three main events that occur during the novel that helped Romeo’s and Juliet’s fate be determined are when the two found out which families they came from, when Romeo, Juliet, and the Friar thought that it was a great idea for the lovers to get married, and when Juliet decides to fake her death.…

    The Ancient Egyptians are the first known to use a contraceptive known as a pessary. The pessary is a concoction made of crocodile dung, sodium carbonate, and honey all missed together, fermented, and inserted into the vagina as a spermicide and blockade to sperm. Other methods included the insertion of the other foods such as sour milk, acacia gum, dates, and the complete removal of the ovaries all together. The Ancient Greeks took a similar approach to birth control but instead of food they used oils such as olive oil, lead ointment, frankincense oil, cedar oil, and an ancient plant called silphium (a large cousin to the fennel plant which, because of such high demand, was extinct by the fourth century A.D.). While barriers such as condoms were documented as far back as about 3000 B.C. but were used as a protection against disease rather than the prevention of pregnancy. In the fourth century B.C., Aristotle actually wrote about early condoms and another method of postcoital contraception where the woman squatted and exerted pressure on her lower abdomen in order to push the semen out of her vagina.…

    The two methods of termination is either surgical or medical TOP. A medical TOP involves oral mifepristone, a progestin antagonist which sensitises the myometrium to prostaglandin induced contractions and ripens the cervix, followed by misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin analogue, orally and or vaginally, which causes uterine contractions and cervical dilatation. The addition of the progesterone antagonist reduces the induction to abortion interval, analgesia required and prostaglandin dose(Farquhar et al. 2009 pg.1). A surgical termination consists of prior dilapan rod insertion and misoprostol priming to dilate and soften the cervix, followed by D&E under local or general anesthetic. Dilapan rods are hydrophilic polymer rods which work by absorbing fluid and slowly expanding, therefore causing cervical dilatation(Farquhar et al. 2009 pg1).The protocol used for medical TOP was as follows: 600 mg mifepristone orally, admission to gynecology ward 36-48 hours later, 800 micrograms misoprostol vaginally then 400 micrograms misoprostol orally at three hourly intervals, with a maximum of four oral doses. If significant bleeding occurred prior to planned admission, admission occurred at that time and the misoprostol regimen commenced. Manual removal of the placenta was recommended after delivery if the placenta did not deliver spontaneously. Pain relief was offered at regular intervals during the procedure according to a protocol that included morphine or pethidine given intravenously, in women…
