Students have asked these similar questions
Some couple practice natural family planning (also known as the rhythm method of birth control), which involves abstaining from sexual intercourse during the time that a woman can become pregnant in her menstrual cycle. The egg only survives in the fallopian tube from 24 hours after ovulation, so conception can only happen during a 24-hour period each month. However, this form of contraceptive is very unreliable and is not recommended for couples who are actively trying to avoid pregnancy.
Which of the following is NOT a reason why this form of birth control is unreliable?
A. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for 3 to 5 days.
B. Ovulation can be affected by stress or illness.
C. Women always ovulate on the same day of their menstrual cycle every month.
D. It is difficult to predict exactly when in her cycle a woman ovulates.
What’s a good solution or helping that could help birth control?
Envision yourself as a physician whose patients sometimes ask about birth control. Provide a contraceptive method for each of the following patients, and explain why it would be appropriate: couple A, a man and woman who have intercourse regularly but never want to have children; couple B, a man and woman who have intercourse regularly and want to have children someday; and person C, a single woman who occasionally has intercourse with single men and does not wish to become pregnant. Be sure to include the level of protection against STDs that each person is likely to need.
