Over the last 25 years a push towards reducing a woman’s total estrogen exposure (during her menstrual cycle) has led to the formulation of low-dose oral contraceptives. Although low-dose OCs are just as effective in preventing pregnancy, an increase in breakthrough bleeding has been reported more frequently with their use.

However, this is not a reason to stop taking the pill. Although annoying, breakthrough bleeding is not uncommon during the first three months of use and repeated episodes are usually resolved by switching to another type of birth control pill with a higher estrogen content. Quite simply it’s finding the appropriate dose for your body’s specific needs.

** Women who smoke are more likely to have breakthrough bleeding. There is also a higher risk of serious cardiovascular side effects with higher doses of estrogen (especially in women over age 35).

Low-dose estrogen pills include:

• Alesse
• Minestrin
• Tri-CyclenLo
• Linessa
• Loestrin 24 Fe.

Lactobacilli are common in the human body. They aid digestion in the gastrointestinal tract and help prevent infection in the vagina. The lactobacilli found in the vagina produce lactic acid which maintains a level of acidity that provides a good defense against infection. But when this level is disrupted infection can set in.

The causes of abnormal vaginal discharge can be either infectious or non-infectious:
Infectious causes include:

• Bacterial vaginosis
• Vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection)
• Cervico-vaginitis resulting from a sexually transmitted infection (STI)
  • Trichomonas
  • Gonorrhea and chlamydia

Non-infectious causes:

• Use of perfumes, soaps, or latex on or around the vagina
• Contact dermatitis – a skin reaction resulting from exposure to allergens or irritants
• Atrophic vaginitis – inflammation of the vagina due to the thinning and shrinking of the tissues, as well as decreased lubrication.
• Excessive vaginal secretions

Prevention

• Always practice safe sex. Wear a condom to protect yourself from HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and other STIs.
• Form good hygeine habits. Wipe from front to back, avoid vaginal douching. Avoid certain sexual activities that may also contribute to vaginal infections.
• If you suffer from vaginal irritation easily, try to avoid scented sanitary napkins and toilet paper, soap, shampoo, bubble bath, tight undergarments made of synthetic fibres or latex, etc. This may reduce your chances of infection.
• Good health habits, such as exercise, weight loss, not eating refined sugar, and better stress management, are helpful.

Ever wondered when your chances of pregnancy are at their highest? The following information can help you determine the best time for conception, or the best time for extra protection.

Women are born with approximately 400,000 eggs in their ovaries. Every month several eggs mature and one is released from an ovary. All along, the uterus has been thickening to act as a nest for the egg to implant. If the egg is released and not fertilized (by sperm) within 12-48 hours, it dissolves. The uterus then sheds it’s thick lining 2 weeks later; this is your period.

Ovulation occurs when the matured egg is released from the ovary. It happens around 14 or 15 days from the first day of your last period. Once the egg is released it travels into the Fallopian tube and is able to be fertilized by a sperm. This is your most fertile time to become pregnant. If you have unprotected sex, pregnancy can occur. A pregnancy can happen anytime from 5 days before ovulation to 1 day afterwards.

Conception happens when a single sperm penetrates the egg. The egg and the sperm then merge into a single nucleus known as a “zygote”. It can take several days for a pregnancy to occur as the fertilized egg has to implant in the lining of the uterus. It is only after the zygote has implanted that the woman is considered pregnant.

If you’re looking for a chemical-free alternative to birth control you may want to try the Symptothermal method.

When using the Symptothermal method you are charting three main indicators of fertility; changes in basal body temperature and cervical mucus, and your own calendar calculation. This method identifies the naturally occuring fertile and infertile phases of your menstrual cycle. The information can then be used to acheive your birth control (or pregnancy) goals.

For this method of natural birth control to work your temperature must be taken every morning before you get out of bed. Once your temperature is taken, record it on a chart, or calendar, so you can easily track the day to day fluctuations. Your temperature should be around 97.2°F and 97.4°F. Ovulation is indicated with an increase in body temperature from half a degree to as much as a full degree and will stay elevated due to an increased production of progesterone (natural hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle.)

Temperature that is sustained for at least three days is an indication that ovulation has taken place; you can assume that having sex will not result in a pregnancy. It’s only before you ovulate that determining when the safest time to have sex is the hardest.

Fertilization can occur during the first 24 hours after the ovaries have released an egg. However, sperm can remain inside a woman for up to seven days making pregnancy possible, even if you don’t have sex during your fertile time.

The Mayo Clinic gives the Symptothermal method a 98% effectiveness rate. This percentage is based on women who do not have irregular periods, irregular body temperature patterns, or recurrent reproductive tract infections. Women who suffer from the later should not rely on this method of birth control.

*** This is a great website to find calendars to track your periods, ovulation, fertile days, if you’re late, pregnancy due date, etc.

Combination pills (estrogen and progestin) should not be started until six weeks after giving birth. This is because during those six weeks you are at the highest risk for venous thromboembolism. A venous thrombosis is a blood clot that forms within a vein.

There is some controversy as to whether the combined pill may interfere with milk production. For women who want to use this method of birth control their doctor may advise that breastfeeding be well-established and that the baby is healthy before using the Pill again. The Pill should be stopped immediately if a significant change in production of milk is noticed.

Progestin-only pills may be started right after having given birth as they do not contain estrogen, the thrombogenic ingredient. There does not appear to be any evidence suggesting an effect on breastfeeding and milk production.
