Document Summary
Chapter 11: contraception and abortion page #271-298: How it works: the combination pill fools the brain into thinking the woman is already pregnant, so no additional ova mature or are released if ovulation doesn"t take place, a woman can"t become pregnant. Effectiveness: when it"s used consistently and correctly, the failure rate of the birth-control pill is very low . 0. 5% or less, depending on the type of pill. In 2004, the world health organization (who) issued new guidelines for missed pills: a woman who misses a pill should take one as soon as possible, and then continue taking one. Reversibility: a woman may temporarily experience reduced fertility after discontinuing oral contraceptives, but their use is not associated with permanent infertility, nearly all women begin ovulating regularly within three months of suspending use. Disadvantages: nearly 100% effective when used properly. It"s worn on the abdomen, buttocks, upper arm, or upper torso, but not on the breasts bloodstream.
