			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Hi all. It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve posted. Again, remember, I&#8217;m not really a blogger. Any posts here, now that I&#8217;ve posted the roots of the concepts of how to make good choices, are examples of their use. Today&#8217;s post is a guest blog about birth control and some of the bad choices people make regarding it. As a little project, I suggest you apply the BLC&#8217;s to birth control and see how easy it is to avoid making any of these mistakes by doing so. (Remember, because my entries tend to be sporadic, it&#8217;s best to subscribe.)</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Information about the writer, Betsy Coon can be found at the end of the article. Thanks for taking the time and writing the article, Betsy!</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">5 Most Common Faults in Birth Control Methods:</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Estrogen pills can be used by both men and women for various reasons, but even with regular use in women to try to alter their fertility patterns, mistakes can still be made in birth control methods.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">1. Not Using Protection</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This is one of the biggest mistakes. Men who avoid using condoms are at a really higher risk of making the women they sleep with pregnant. This contraceptive mistake happens either because many teenagers engaging in sex don&#8217;t understand the importance of using protection or they simply don&#8217;t want to use condoms because the sensations to them don&#8217;t feel as stimulating and pleasurable. But this is often a very costly error if the couple is trying to avoid getting pregnant.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">2. Forgetting to Consider Birth Control Pills</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Some women never get a prescription for contraceptive pills in the first place, although some do but forget to take them. This can pose a critical hazard to an intelligent contraceptive approach between couples. These pills should be taken on a regular basis, usually in the exact same time every day. If not, the chances of effective birth control methods are severely diminished and the ease of getting pregnant becomes greatly magnified. It&#8217;s really not a wise decision to overlook taking these prescribed pills.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">3. No Intrauterine Devices</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Some women choose to take their chances at getting pregnant by not only not using protection or contraceptive pills but by also never getting an IUD from their gynecologist. This is an immature method of looking at birth control since IUDs are so effective at preventing pregnancy. While they aren&#8217;t 100% effective by any means, they&#8217;re still a fantastic birth control choice for women of most any age who are sexually active. Plus, they can be applied within a woman in a short doctor&#8217;s visit and also the procedure is completely pain and ache free and relatively inexpensive as well, so there should be no reason women make this wrong contraception decision.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">4. Using Inefficient Withdrawal Method</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Withdrawal of the erect male organ is among the worst birth control methods ever invented. It seldom works since the temptation of the male is to continue to keep his penis inserted within the female at the point of orgasm and ejaculation. This error is so costly to numerous girls and</span> <span style="color: #c0c0c0;">women of nearly every age.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">5. Having Sex During Most Fertile Time</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">One of the worst birth control mistakes is for a woman to engage in sexual practice during her most fertile times of the month. This really is not very logical. It makes little sense, yet it&#8217;s done constantly, mostly by younger ladies, who might not have a complete understanding of exactly how the fertility and pregnancy processes are associated.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">About the writer: Betsy B. Coon has a degree in Gynecology and blogs for the </span><a title="Betsy's Blog" href="http://www.estrogenpills.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">estrogenpills.org </span></a><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">website, her personal hobby blog she uses to supply free information on estrogen pills.</span></h3>
