Q

Copper IUD

Paraguard

A

Suppress GnRH to prevent LH surge; suppress FSH to prevent ovulation

Stabilize endometrium; progesterone thickens cervical mucus

Higher dose estrogen for spotting, recurrent ovarian cysts, acne

May protect against endometrial cancer

SE: irregular bleeding, breast tenderness, acne, mood changes

13
Q

Fertility Awareness Methods

A

Ovulation method: predict fertile time based on cycle length

Sympothermal: basal body temperature, cervical mucus used to track ovulation

Basal Body Temperature: increase 0.5-1.0 degrees F 2-3 days before
