Document Summary
Psychology 2075 chapter 7: contraception and abortion. Hormonal methods of contraception are highly effective and come in a number of forms: the pill, the patch, the vaginal ring, implants, and injections. Combination birth control pills: contain a combination of estrogen and progestin. The pill works mainly by preventing ovulation. Failure rate: the pregnancy rate occurring when using a particular contraceptive method; the percentage of women who will be pregnant after a year of use of the method. Effectiveness is 100 minus the failure rate. We can also talk about two kinds of failure rate: failure rate for perfect users and the failure rate for typical users. Combination pills are one of the most effective methods of birth control. If a woman forgets to take a pill, she should take it as soon as she remembers and take the next one at the regular time. Blood clotting, it may aggravate some already existing cancers, such as breast cancer.
