Non-Hormonal Contraception

Prevention of fertilization or, in general, pregnancy without using the oral pill.

Ovulation normally takes place on the 14th day of the cycle. In the event of a long cycle, it may be the 20^th day. In case of a short cycle, it may be the 10^th day. The 1^st day of bleeding (even minimal) corresponds to the 1^st day of the cycle.

Ovulation corresponds to the moment when the egg is released by the ovary. The ovarian follicle (which has until then enveloped the egg in a protective cocoon) ruptures: the egg is ready to be captured by the widely open pavilion of the fallopian tube. Fertilization can only occur during the ovulation period.

• Observation of mucus and cervix predicts ovulation.
• Temperature confirms ovulation.
• The infertile phase presents a dry cervix, a rather dry vulva.
• The fertile phase presents a cervix at maximum humidity (abundant cervical mucus).

Mustard seeds macerated in sesame oil. Absorb for 4 days during menstruation.

Foods that contain caffeine affect hormone levels which can then act on the ovulatory process.

1 - Mini-microscope PG 53: observation of saliva - cervical mucus

2 - Billings method: observation of cervical mucus which provides information on the phases of female fertility

3 - Bioself: micro-electronic indicator of periods of fertility and non-fertility

4 - Tubal ligation

5 - Vasectomy, microsurgery for male sterilization (today the technique is reversible)

6 - Condom (male contraceptive) watch out for disruption of the vaginal environment

7 - Cervical cap, possible allergenic effects

8 - Cervical sponge, possible allergenic effects

9 - IUD (women with an IUD would need approximately 5 times the normal dose of iron...)

10 - Complete controlled breastfeeding is one way anti-ovulatory

11 - Lunaception, modification of the menstrual cycle by light

12 - Aviva Steiner method: “sex-yoga” exercises (gymnastics whose practice allows you to control your cycle and trigger menstruation yourself)

13 - Aromatic ovules⁽¹⁾

Caution, pill and nicotine increase the risk cardiovascular
