6 Dangerous Myths About Birth Control We Should Stop Believing

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - May 22, 2019 - PRLog -- All though there is plenty of information on the Internet regarding the best birth control methods - people still believe in nonsense. These beliefs are not only fake - they are dangerous because an unwanted pregnancy can ruin a career, destiny or even life.

At the moment, considering the anti-abortion agenda in the US that keeps growing, the information about family planning and pregnancy prevention is especially relevant. The acceptance of the pro-life laws (which are in fact anti-human) can make a woman undergo legal prosecution for terminating the pregnancy, so birth control today is more important than ever.

The methods below will NOT prevent you from getting pregnant. Read, remember and spread this knowledge further to save your life and lives of other women.

Having sex in the days of menstruation

Although the loss of endometrium (which is what menstruation actually is) makes your chances to get pregnant much lower, they don't disappear completely. The process of ovulation can move forward by a day or several days, and you will never know. It can happen due to many lifestyles and health issues. Only your gyno can tell you the exact day the egg is released.

Besides, there can be two eggs released, and if one is dead, the second may still be functioning. Plus there is an increased risk of infection due to the open cervix at this period. The best thing you can do is to use condoms in the days of menstruation.

Breastfeeding is the best birth control

Every human body is unique; each restores after the labor in its own tempo. Some women are fertile in just a few months although they're still breastfeeding their babies. Lactation may slow down the development of the egg but doesn't prevent you from this process. Even doctors cannot predict the term of this. This is why you should consider pregnancy prevention while you are breastfeeding.

Withdrawal method as the only means of birth control

This "safe" method keeps failing but somehow is still widely practiced. Every child seems to know that some spermatozoa may be contained in the lube, that men don't always clearly feel the start of their ejaculation, but no one seems to care. Stop this, seriously, it doesn't work.

Condoms as 100% protection

Unfortunately, they can have poor quality, be torn, be expired or be counterfeit. To avoid problems with condoms buy them only in trusted places and, of course, don't choose the cheapest brand.

Emergency pill each time after unprotected sex

Emergency pills like Plan B contain colossal doses of hormones. They aren't created to be taken for more than several times a month. Not knowing how to use Plan B (https://www.thewomenschoice.com/plan-b/) may cost you your reproductive health and even cause uterine perforation.

Rhythm method as the only means of birth control

Not only does this method not give any protection against STDs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexually_transmitted_infection), but it's also ineffective as pregnancy prevention. Even if you count the days scrupulously, measure the basal temperature and examine your discharge like a pro, you can't track the fluctuation of the egg release mentioned above.

How to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy? Consult your gyno and follow the doctor's recommendations. This is the only way to maximally protect yourself from such an issue as unwanted pregnancy.
