walid rofi'uddin blog's: Hormonal Birth Control

What is hormonal birth control?

Birth control can also be accomplished by releasing small amounts of the hormone progesterone into the bloodstream. This has the effect of changing the mucous of the cervix and the lining of the uterus which makes pregnancy unlikely. This section describes the effects of the two most popular hormonal birth controls; Depo Provera and Norplant.

How effective are these hormonal birth control methods?

Depo Provera and Norplant are both over 99% effective. The manufacturers claim that hormonal birth control does not cause infertility when usage is stopped and that over 90% of past users will be able to conceive a child within 2 years.

How are the hormonal treatments administered?

Depo Provera is given by injection; while Norplant comes in the form of small rods which are placed underneath the skin around the elbow.

What are some of the concerns with Depo Provera and Norplant?

Depo Provera was approved for use in the United States in 1992 and there continues to be a controversy over its perceived side effects. Thoroughly research Depo Provera and its side effects before considering using the drug. If your physician or health care professional is unfamiliar with Depo Provera, visit a health care professional who is.
A few of the possible side effects of Depo Provera are:

potential fertility problems
irregular menstrual cycle or no period at all

weight gain
hair loss
loss of sexual desire
cramps, migranes
vaginal dryness
