Improved Safe Period Calculator for Natural Family Planning

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:27:13 +0000

Determining the time when it is innocuous to have intercourse without becoming pregnant can be tricky. What are the methods available? How is the innocuous period determined? Ovulation is the process when during the menstrual cycle an egg is released from the ovary. When the egg passes through the fallopian tubes is when fertilization might take place. Eggs that are unfertilized might live for up to twelve hours. If the egg is not fertilized it is shed from the body in the menstrual period. You are more likely to become pregnant if intercourse takes place just before or after ovulation.

There are a number of changes your body goes through during the menstrual cycle. If you track these changes you can plan when to have or when to refrain intercourse. Currently there are a few methods of natural family planning, the mucus or ovulation method, the symptom thermal method and the rhythm method.

The mucus or ovulation method the cervical mucus is checked during the days just before or after ovulation. When you are more likely to become pregnant the cervical mucus is clear, slick and stretchy much like an uncooked egg white.

With the symptom thermal method you take your temperature each day with a basal body thermometer and keep a chart. During ovulation your temperature will rise slightly about .9°F. The temperature rise is also accompanied with the changes in cervical mucus and other body changes like, bloating, backache, breast tenderness and pain in the ovaries.

The rhythm method is based on calendar calculations from previous menstrual cycles. This method is used for women who do not have variations in the length of the cycles. Ovulation is usually fourteen days prior to the beginning of the period.

All methods require charting and if you receive training from your doctor or an teacher thesis methods have proven to be between 90% and 98% effective when performed correctly. Tracking these calculations can be tricky and difficult with charts and calendars. Wouldnt it be nice if there was a way to compute the innocuous period without having to keep up with a calendar or chart of your periods? There are many tools acquirable from apps for your iPhone, downloadable programs, manual diaries and menstrual logs.

There is a web site, titled Safe period calculator also acquirable that does all the calculations for you. If you are a women with a regular 26 to 30 day cycle this site will compute for you the innocuous date. All you have to do is key in the date of when your last period began and the number of days in your cycle. The program gives you the results of the two-week ranges that it is innocuous to have intercourse and not become pregnant. Conversely you can use this to determine your fertile days if you wish to become pregnant. This is an simple to use tool that swiftly will give you the innocuous days to have intercourse. Nothing is really simpler and if you use the information provided from this calculator along with the other physical changes your endorsement from this natural family planning method is as effective as most other forms of contraception.

The Myth of Safe Sex / Condoms Are Not The Answer / Sex Education Video Film

admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:20:16 +0000

The Myth of Safe Sex / Condoms Are Not The Answer by rosaryfilms of Secret of the Rosary Films. Credits at the end of the video.

NIH Report on the Scientific Evidence on Condom Effectiveness for Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Prevention.

Workshop Summary: Scientific Evidence on Condom Effectiveness for STD Prevention. www.niaid.nih.gov

See also: Sex, Condoms and STDs: What We Now Know. Safer sex isnt almost innocuous enough, The Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 2002.
The Church instructs that the use of condoms for purposes of artificial birth control violates natural law, is immoral and offensive to God — and is harmful to the well being of the husband, wife and their marital relationship.

Today, many people use the term, safe-sex, as if they are experts on a topic that is suppose to have a scientific basis. Experts they are not, and the term “safe-sex” is not based on sound science or morality.

The word innocuous means free from harm, danger or risk. Safe-sex is defined as using a male latex condom during sexual activity where there is exposure to genitals and sexual fluids. Health officials, sex educators, motion picture stars and other public personalities tell the public that they can have sex with anyone they want anytime they want and often as they want — as long as the male wears a latex condom, then no harm or danger will come to the people engaging in sexual activity. According to the latest research on condoms and their effectiveness in preventing sexually transmitted diseases, condoms have been found to be anything but — safe-sex.

The Condom Effectiveness Conference which was led by the National Institutes of Health, reviewed published scientific evidence on condom effectiveness as of June 2000.

Based on the conference findings, here is how condoms stack up against some common sexually transmitted diseases:

Human Papilloma Virus. Also called genital warts. Condoms offer tiny to no endorsement even if used 100% of the time.

Trichomonas. No endorsement even if condoms are used 100% of the time.

Syphilis. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 2950% if they are used 100% of the time.

Gonorrhea. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 50% if they are used 100% of the time.

Chlamydia. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 50% if they are used 100% of the time.

Genital herpes. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 40% if they are used at least 65% of the time. One study showed condoms reduced transmission risk for women by 25% but men were still at risk.

HIVAids. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 85 to 87% if they are used 100% of the time.

If so-called innocuous sex were truly safe, condoms would eliminate the risk of STD transmission but the NIH study reveals that condoms only offer risk reduction.

Read the back of any box of condoms and see that even condom manufacturers state that when condoms are used properly, they might help reduce the risk of catching or spreading many STDs. Realize also, that correct use of condoms means using a condom with each act of sex with no forgetting and that the five to seven steps for putting on and removing a condom must be followed since you can not make mistakes or you lose the benefit of the condom. And even if you use them correctly, condoms only reduce the risk of STDs, so youre still at risk.

Two things that condoms cant protect are the heart and mind. Condoms cant prevent the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual bonds that form when two people have sex and condoms cant reduce the risk and pain of heartbreak when relationships end. Condoms dont protect against unwanted memories and connections to past sexual partners long after those bonds are broken.

Condoms are not the answer. The answer is sexual self-control by developing the virtues of chastity, which is the virtue which excludes or moderates the indulgence of the sexual appetite.

Don’t Drop the Ball: Statistics show that New Year’s Eve is not a good night for birth control use. Condoms break. Pills are forgotten.

USING THE CONDOM: testando a camisinha

USING THE CONDOM: testando a camisinha
Safe Sex
===========
The effectiveness of condoms, as of most forms of contraception, can be assessed two ways. Perfect use or method effectiveness rates only include people who use condoms properly and consistently. Actual use, or typical use effectiveness rates are of all condom users, including those who use condoms incorrectly or do not use condoms at each act of intercourse. Rates are generally presented for the first year of use. Most commonly the Pearl Index is used to compute effectiveness rates, but some studies use decrement tables.
The typical use pregnancy rate among condom users varies depending on the population being studied, ranging from 1018% per year. The perfect use pregnancy rate of condoms is 2% per year. Condoms might be combined with other forms of contraception (such as spermicide) for greater protection.
Condoms are widely suggested for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). They have been shown to be effective in reducing infection rates in both men and women. While not perfect, the condom is effective at reducing the transmission of organisms that cause AIDS, genital herpes, cervical cancer, genital warts, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other diseases. Condoms are often suggested as an adjunct to more effective birth control methods (such as IUD) in situations where STD endorsement is also desired.
According to a 2000 report by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), correct and consistent use of latex condoms reduces the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission by approximately 85% relative to risk when unprotected, putting the seroconversion rate (infection rate) at 0.9 per 100 person-years with condom, down from 6.7 per 100 person-years. Analysis published in 2007 from the University of Texas Medical Branch [47] and the World Health Organization found similar risk reductions of 8095%.
The 2000 NIH review concluded that condom use significantly reduces the risk of gonorrhea for men. A 2006 study reports that proper condom use decreases the risk of transmission of human papillomavirus to women by approximately 70%. Another study in the same year found consistent condom use was effective at reducing transmission of herpes simplex virus-2 also known as genital herpes, in both men and women.
Although a condom is effective in limiting exposure, some disease transmission might occur even with a condom. Infectious areas of the genitals, especially when symptoms are present, might not be covered by a condom, and as a result, some diseases can be transmitted by direct contact.[51] The primary effectiveness issue with using condoms to prevent STDs, however, is inconsistent use.
Condoms might also be useful in treating potentially precancerous cervical changes. Exposure to human papillomavirus, even in individuals already infected with the virus, appears to increase the risk of precancerous changes. The use of condoms helps promote regression of these changes. In addition, researchers in the UK recommend that a hormone in semen can aggravate existing cervical cancer, condom use during sex can prevent exposure to the hormone.

============
Preservativo é um método contraceptivo do tipo barreira.
Este é o método contraceptivo mais utilizado em todo o mundo, que ajuda não só no planejamento familiar como também evita a transmissão de diversas DSTs. É feito de látex ou poliuretano e geralmente vem já lubrificado, existindo em várias cores, aromas e tamanhos. Deve estar presente durante todo o ato sexual: deve colocar-se antes de iniciar a penetração e retirar-se depois da ejaculação, antes que o pênis perca a ereção.
Apesar de ser o método mais eficiente contra a transmissão do vírus HIV (causador da epidemia da SIDA), o uso de preservativo não é aceito pela Igreja Católica Romana, pelas Igrejas Ortodoxas e pelos praticantes do Hinduísmo.
