your body produces monthly on its own.
“Morning – After Pill”
is a form of emergency birth control.
Implants
Implants are six matchstick-size rubber silicon
rods, tubes or capsules containing progestin.

15. ∗ 2.Sterilization or Surgical Method

sperm are prevented from going any where by
cutting, knotting or blocking the tubes along
which they normally travel.
Tubal Ligation
Female sterilization

during sex, the man withdraws
his penis from the woman’s vagina just
before the sperm-containing fluid
ejaculates.

22. ∗ Breastfeeding is the main factor for delaying
menstruation (lactational amenorrhea). As the
baby sucks, the nipples are stimulated, causing the
woman’s body to produce prolactin, the hormone
that includes milk flow.
Breastfeeding also provides many
other benefits. It is the best nutrition of infants. It
lowers the incidence of infant diseases and death
because of the presence of colostrum, a yellowish
fluid in the mother’s milk known to be an antibody.
Prolonged Lactation or Lactational
Amenorrhea (LAM)

23. ∗ The Douche
