Natural family planning � Rhythm method (calendar method) � Basal body temperature � Cervical mucus(Billings method) � Symptothermal method(combined method) 10 -20% failure rate � Lactational amenorrhea(0. 9 -1. 2% first 6 months 7. 4% at 12 months) � Withdrawal method(5 -25% FR) not in premature ejaculation � Post coital douche

Barrier methods � Male condom (10 -30% FR first year) � Female condom(15% FR) � Vaginal diaphragm(7%) � Cervical cap � Spermicides(Vaginal jellies, creams, sponge, gels, suppositories and foam nonoxynol-9, active for about 2 hours). 10 -30%FR

Male Condoms

Female condom

Cervical cap

Vaginal diaphragm

Hormonal methods � Oral contraceptive pills Combined pills Sequential Mini pills(progesterone only) Reduces incidence of ovarian and endometrial cancer, benign breast diseases, Also protects against development of colorectal cancer and progression of rheumatoid arthritis.

Combined oral contraceptive pills

� � � � Contraindications; Thromboembolic phenomenon Breast cancer Myocardial infarction Hypertension Active liver disease Smoking Pregnancy � Failure rate between 1 -2% if taken appropriately.

Non contraceptive uses of OCPS � Menorrhagia � DUB � PCOS � Dysmenorrhea � Hirsutism � Acne

Injectables � Progesterone only( DMPA, NET-EN) � Combined contraceptive injections(cyclofem, mesigna) � Given monthly. Progestogens � Suitable for sickle cell disease patients � Protects against the risk of endometrial and cancers, endometriosis and PID.

� Irregular vaginal bleeding � Weight gain � Amenorrhea � Return to fertility may take few months � Failure rate 1%

Implants � Norplants � Jardelle � Implanon � Nexplanon Failure rate < 1%

Implant -Implanon

� Vaginal ring � Transdermal patch

Vaginal ring (Nuva ring)

� Intrauterine contraceptive devices � Cu T 380 A, 380 S multiload Cu-250, 375. Heavy menstrual flow and abdominal cramps � Hormone releasing e. g progestasert(1 year) mirena IUS LNG 20(5 -7 years) More suitable in a patient with menorhagia Less abdominal cramps Effectiveness 95 -98%

CU-T IUCD

Mirena

Sterilisation � Permanent � Male - Vasectomy � Female – Bilateral tubal ligation � Minilaparotomy, per vagina or laparoscopy Essure (Sterilisation implant). > 99% effective � Regret 5% >35 years � 20% <35 years

Emergency contraception � After unprotected sexual intercourse � Failure of contraceptive method � In cases of rape or incest � Following a single act of sexual exposure in young girls.

� Standard regimen (Yuzpe regime) � IUCD insertion � Failure rate 10%
