Natural birth control methods

There are numerous natural contraceptive methods in order to get rid of these disturbing elements during energy play, during sex. We're not talking about fried tadpoles or fish bladder condoms. The so-called "Coitus Interruptus" has also proven to be very deceptive in the course of mankind. We now briefly introduce the most common natural methods, completely without chemicals.

Observation of the cycles

Natural contraception clearly means knowing the fertile and non-fertile days of the menstrual cycle. Depending on the purpose of observing your cycle, avoid having sex on fertile days - or push your abilities to the limit. Generally speaking, you need to be patient. You should watch yourself closely over several cycles.

Hormone dependent?

When observing your body, a number of factors play a major role. On the one hand the body temperature, on the other hand the nature of the so-called cervical mucus. Roughly speaking, if the mucus at your vaginal outlet is slippery and pulling, streaky and rather transparent, this indicates high fertility, but if it is rather dry, white, maybe even crumbly, the risk of becoming pregnant is lower. This has to do with the estrogen and progesterone that change the cervical mucus in such a way.

Progesterone?

With the temperature method, you record a slight increase in body temperature lasting around 2 days after ovulation. The temperature rises by about 0.2 to 0.5 degrees, due to the hormone progesterone mentioned above. After the 3rd day of the phase of a slightly increased body temperature, the Shakti should be sterile until the next menstrual period. The measurements should always be taken on the same day, in the same place (e.g. in the vagina).

Combination of methodology?

The second method, the Billings Method, works through the cervical mucus, as explained above. The third method is the Knaus-Ogino approach. Here, the woman's temperature is observed over six months, and then, purely arithmetically, after subtracting mean values, the fertile and infertile time is determined. A combination of all three methods, at least the first two, seems to make perfect sense. Incidentally, the cervix also changes cyclically.

Modern technology

At the end of the consideration of natural contraception methods, something more modern, the contraceptive computer. We find two different systems. One also works with daily temperature measurements, the so-called basal temperature, the morning waking temperature, is recorded. The computer will then display the fertile and fertile days accordingly. The other one works on a hormone basis, you will also need test strips. Expensive and not very reliable.

Chaos cycle

It is important to mention that the consumption of alcohol or the use of drugs, medication, insomnia can completely mess up the cycle. The measurements are then not worth much. It is always advisable to consider at least one or two days "buffer zone". Sperm survive up to three days and the egg one day.

Exercise

LungeStand in the basic posture. The legs now go into a lunge, the right or left leg forward. Now rock into the resulting tension. This is called differently in various traditions. Known are half moon, high lunge, Uthita Ashwa. You can expand the exercise by leaning your torso forward and placing your hands near your feet. That was a little stretching exercise.
