  Some information abt contraception:
  
  How Contraceptives Work
  
  Different contraception methods work in different ways. Mechanical methods aim to prevent sperm entering the uterus, hormonal methods prevent ovulation so that no egg is fertilized and "natural" methods require human skills to perfect.
  
  Contraceptive methods can be divided into the following general categories:
  
  • Hormonal Contraceptives
  Combined hormonal contraceptives – the Pill, the vaginal ring and transdermal patch – contain both estrogen and progestogen. These ingredients are similar to the natural hormones women produce in their ovaries and they ultimately stop the ovaries from releasing an egg, or ovulating.
  
  The progestogen-only pill, or the mini-pill, contains very low levels of progestogen – not enough to prevent egg release consistently. The mini-pill, therefore, works by thickening the cervical mucus and thinning the lining of the womb to prevent pregnancy. Consequently, it is less effective than other hormonal methods of contraception.
  
  • IUD
  The intra-uterine device protects against pregnancy by altering sperm migration and therefore preventing fertilization. Copper is usually used as very high concentrations in the cervical mucus can impair sperm migration. IUDs also generate a foreign body reaction in the lining of the womb. Large amounts of white blood cells are produced which help destroy the sperm. The white cells also disrupt the lining of the womb so that in the event that an egg is fertilized, it is unable to implant.
  
  • Barrier Contraceptives
  Barrier contraceptives – the diaphragm, cap and condom – work by providing a physical barrier to prevent the sperm meeting an egg. In some instances, they may be used with a spermicide, a substance with the ability to kill sperm.
  
  • Sterilization
  Female tubal sterilization procedures block or cut the fallopian tubes, thus preventing the sperm from coming into contact with the egg. Male sterilization involves blocking or cutting each vas deferens – the tubes transporting the sperm from the testes – so that sperm does not enter the ejaculate.

  tat is really not using the scientific way to prevent pregnancy. Using ovulation cycle is dangerous and restrict sex to certain days. If christian can view seeing doctor as natural and a godsend, why restrict contraceptive and treat it as though it is forbidden by god
