1. Creating a Contraception Plan How can you use all of the information from this unit to create a plan for yourself or a friend that will help keep them from getting pregnant while being sexually active? Work with a partner or a small group and go through your notes together. Create the best plan you can using the methods covered in class, with the exception of surgical methods and the morning after pill. See how many methods you can combine, keeping in mind that you cannot combine all methods together.

8. Reflection… Why is the birth control shot a bad method to use the if you have never used a hormone regulator before?

9. Reflection… Why is the birth control shot a bad method to use the if you have never used a hormone regulator before? Because it is a three month commitment and if you have problems with the side effects you are stuck with them for 3 months.

10. Reflection… Which method is the worst option for teens?

11. Reflection… Which method is the worst options for teens? Sterilization and vasectomy, because they are not easily reversed and expensive. Withdrawal, if the teen is inexperienced it makes it more difficult to know when to pull out.

12. Reflection… Which method do doctors say is the best option for teens to use with condoms?

13. Reflection… Which method do doctors say is the best option for teens to use with condoms? Doctors are supporting teens using IUD because it prevents pregnancy for such a long time and is so effective.

14. Reflection… Is it better to use two condoms?

15. Reflection… Is it better to use two condoms? No, because wearing two condoms causes friction, which can tear latex. Can’t use male and female condoms together.

16. Reflection… Why don’t women use Plan B every time they are worried about unwanted pregnancy?

17. Reflection… Why don’t women use Plan B every time they are worried about unwanted pregnancy? Because there is such a concentration of hormones that it would be bad for you to use it more than a few times in a lifespan.
