Showing papers in "Contraception in 2006"

TL;DR: Financial limitations and lack of knowledge about pregnancy may make it more difficult for some women to obtain early abortion.

TL;DR: In this article, indirect evidence from six prospective studies that examined women with insertion of a copper IUD and compared risk of PID between those with STIs at the time of insertion with those with no STIs.

TL;DR: The risk of nonfatal VTE for the contraceptive patch is similar to the risk for OCs containing 35 microg ethinylestradiol and norgestimate, an OC that has been marketed for over a decade.

TL;DR: The regimen continuously inhibited menses, increased the incidence of amenorrhea over time and, except for a subset of women, decreased the number of bleeding and spotting days.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of two combined oral contraceptives [20 μg of ethinylestradiol (EE)/100 μg of levonorgestrel and 15 μg of EE/60 μg of gestodene] were compared with those of the vaginal ring (15 μg of E/120 μg of etonogestrel).

TL;DR: Limited evidence suggested that use of progestogen-only contraceptives other than DMPA did not affect BMD, and in longitudinal studies, BMD generally decreased more over time among DMPA users than among nonusers, but women gained BMD upon discontinuation of DMPA.

TL;DR: The younger women were at the time of sterilization, the more likely they were to report regretting that decision, and a consistent inverse relationship between women's age at sterilization and their likelihood of regretting having had the procedure.

TL;DR: Most women in the United States believe that hormonal contraception should be available without prescription and would personally use pharmacy access, and women's enthusiasm for pharmacy access suggests that the pharmacy is an important site for the provision of sexual health education, screening and supplies.

TL;DR: NuvaRing has comparable efficacy and tolerability to a COC containing 30 microg of EE and 3 mg drospirenone, and user acceptability of both methods was high.

TL;DR: Continuation rates of Implanon in this clinic setting in the UK make it a cost-effective method of contraception and justify its widespread provision.

TL;DR: These results show BMD declines during DMPA-IM use; following discontinuation, significant increases in BMD occur through 96 weeks posttreatment.

TL;DR: Despite improvements in contraceptive knowledge and attitude, birth control and disease-preventive practices did not improve significantly among Hispanics who were born in the United States.

TL;DR: P and EP insertion of the TCu 380A IUD is an effective and convenient procedure, and expulsion rates in these groups are higher than in the INT group, and the overall cumulative pregnancy rate and frequency of pregnancy were found to be higher.

TL;DR: The present review summarizes the development, physiology and the development of the currently used regimens for medical abortion with mifepristone and prostaglandin.

TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that shortening the hormone-free interval (HFI) between cycles of 21 days of oral contraceptives (OCs) reduces pituitary secretion of gonadotropins and ovarian production of estradiol and inhibin-B and indicates increases in the pituitaries-ovarian axis during cycles of OC use.

TL;DR: Assessment of the relationship between the use of steroid hormonal contraceptives and bone health and questions have been raised regarding the association between use of one particular hormonal contraceptive, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), and the risk of bone loss.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the potential antifertility activity of feeding diets containing 30% fenugreek seeds to male and female white New Zealand rabbits, and found evidence of significant reduction of developing fetuses as observed by reductions of both fetal and placental weights at 20 days of gestation and of the litter size.

TL;DR: Occupational exposure to fenvalerate could affect the semen quality of the workers, but the conclusion warrants further complete investigation due to various limitations of the study.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that Seasonique is effective, safe and well tolerated for the prevention of pregnancy.

TL;DR: Overall, these studies showed that hypertensive COC users were at higher risk for stroke and acute myocardial infarction than hypertensive non-COC users, but that they were not atHigher risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE).

TL;DR: Introducing a dedicated product and allowing direct pharmacy access to ECPs in France have resulted in greater ECP use, with no negative impact on sexual behavior or use of contraception.

TL;DR: Cellulose sulfate was associated with only a slightly higher odds ratio of symptoms of minor urogenital irritation compared to the inactive lubricant K-Y Jelly, and was safe for twice-daily use for 14 days.

TL;DR: Women who are ambivalent about the desire for pregnancy are less likely to use contraception and the challenge for reducing abortion rates lies in improving contraceptive use among the much larger group of women who do not intend to get pregnant but use contraception imperfectly.

TL;DR: This systematic review examined whether women who use combined hormonal contraception experience changes in risk of fracture or bone mineral density (BMD) that differ from nonusers.

TL;DR: In Limburg, the estimated incidence of uterine perforations related to the insertion of a LNG IUS is 2.6 per 1000 insertions and insertion in lactating women, even beyond 6 weeks after delivery, was shown to be an important risk factor.

TL;DR: Continuous OC regimens more effectively prevent dominant follicle development and breakthrough ovulation and the slight delay in time to ovulation following OC discontinuation and natural cycles could be attributed to suppression of follicle wave activity.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that this composite plant extract possesses potential contraceptive spermicidal activity in vitro, and shows the most promising results by complete sperm immobilization within 2 min after the application of the extract.

TL;DR: Clinical trials have shown that continuous OC regimens induce amenorrhea in 80% to 100% of women by 10 to 12 months of use and for women who do not wish to become pregnant, a continuous OC regimen should be an available option.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified all women between March 2002 and November 2003 who requested postpartum sterilization during antepartum care but did not undergo the procedure, and reported the reasons why sterilizations were not performed.

TL;DR: There was no significant difference in the emotional responses or incidences of psychiatric morbidity between women undergoing medical and women undergoing surgical abortion.
