What are the postpartum contraceptive methods?

We all know that women and men are like fish and water, and neither can live without the other, because every family needs sex to maintain. Men and women are together for a family, for having children, and for having sex. Even women can have sex after giving birth, but it has to be one month later. However, most women after giving birth need to breastfeed their children, and it is easy to get pregnant at this time, so they also need to use contraception. So what are the contraceptive methods after giving birth?

● Principle of contraception: Simply put, it prevents sperm and egg from "meeting" and forming a fertilized egg, thereby avoiding the chance of conception. After the egg is discharged from the female body, it can survive in the fallopian tube for about 24 hours, but the sperm can survive longer in the human body, generally 3 to 7 days. The sperm in the first 3 days has strong conception ability. If it meets the egg at this time, the conception rate is extremely high. In the next 4 days, the conception ability of the sperm gradually weakens, but conception is still possible. Therefore, if you choose the natural safe period contraception method, you need to calculate your ovulation date and avoid sexual intercourse one week before and two days after ovulation. There are several ways to know your ovulation period. One way is to calculate based on your menstrual cycle. Generally, you calculate 14 to 15 days forward from the first day of your period. For example, if your period is on the 30th, calculate forward 14 to 15 days, which is between the 16th and 17th. You can also use ovulation test strips to calculate your ovulation date. More sensitive women will also find that a long strip of transparent leucorrhea will be discharged from the vagina the day before ovulation, which means the beginning of ovulation.

● Advantages and disadvantages: The advantage is that the method is natural and will not cause any adverse effects on the body. If you become pregnant, it will not affect the continuation of the pregnancy, and the sexual life is highly pleasurable. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to accurately calculate the ovulation period, which leads to poor contraceptive effect.

● Suitable for people: Women with very regular menstruation, whose menstrual cycle does not differ by more than one or two days each month. This way, your ovulation date will be easier to calculate and determine.

These contraceptive methods can be implemented after childbirth. The method chosen for postpartum contraception must avoid any harm to the child. It is also important to note that it is best not to take contraceptive drugs. Such drugs are very harmful to the child and are mainly transmitted to the child through breast milk. The best way to prevent pregnancy after childbirth is to wear a condom.
