Must-Read Myths on Birth Control Method

As there are millions of sexually active men and women worldwide, there are also a comprehensive selections of birth control method available for them to wisely choose from and properly utilize. In fact, these contraceptive options, most popular are the barrier and hormonal methods, are not only known to effectively prevent unwanted pregnancies, but they are also efficient treatments to a number of health conditions and concerns.

However, there are still some people who believe in odd practices that promise the same protection that one can get from the conventional birth control methods. These myths are called as such for these are the methods that some individuals falsely believed to be as effective means to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Unlike the common types of contraceptive methods, birth control myths' efficacy is not proven by any form of medical study or research.

Hence, if you do not wish to get pregnant or experience the hassle of worrying if you might actually become pregnant, never ever believe in methods and practices that are considered today as birth control myths.

The following are some of the most popular birth control myths or stories that some people, sadly, believe and practice today despite the absence of proven evidences that such methods and practices actually do work:

Myth 1: There is a safe time within the month for a woman to have unprotected sex or it is safe for a woman to have sex during her menstruation period.

None of the two statements is true. You can get pregnant anytime or any day within the month if you engage in unprotected sex. Remember that there is really no exact or definite way to predict ovulation, since this process is really not associated with a woman's last menstruation period. Ovulation is based on the start of the menstruation cycle of the month. Unfortunately, this is something that is hard to determine or predict, thus, making it a very risky method of contraception, particularly for young females.

Myth 2: After the sexual intercourse, a woman can rinse out the sperm from her vagina to prevent or avoid conception.

This is a very ineffective way of preventing pregnancy, for you can never wash out the sperm once inside a woman's vagina. Some claim that douching by means of Coca Cola can actually kill sperm. However, it is not recommended, for it is a very complicated process.

Myth 3: Pregnancy is not possible if you have sex for the first time or if you do it standing up.

These are wrong, for preventing pregnancy has nothing to do with any sexual position as well as the number of times one engages in sexual activities.

Myth 4: Pregnancy is prevented in withdrawal method.

This is a risky way of preventing conception since you can never really predict or time ejaculation. Take note that ejaculation is not really necessary in conception, for it only takes one sperm to unite with a woman's fertilized egg. Also when a man ejaculates and pulls out from a woman's vagina, few sperm are still likely to mix with vaginal moisture and move into the uterus.
