2.  Reproductive health care providers have seen
women having a hard time in selecting the best
birth control method among the wide range of
contraceptive devices that would suit them
especially when there are several wrong
information about them. Most of these wrongful
beliefs come from the lack of proper information.
The proper information was not properly
disseminated in the past because people were too
self-consious to ask about it. For most countries,
sex is not a topic that is discussed openly which
may have been the cause of the fear of
contraceptives in most women. However, there
are also women who get pregnant because they
put too much faith in their birth control thinking
that they are 100 percent safe from unplanned
pregnancies.

3.  Here are some of the common myths related to
birth control:
- The first time of having sex will not result to any
babies. Teenagers who have entered parenthood
early have fallen for this false assumption.
- Women who do not have orgasm will not become
pregnant. This is not true because a woman
produces an egg each month and if this egg is
fertilized by a sperm then she will become pregnant.
- Condoms are reusable. There is a possibility that
some sperm are still on the condoms, for this
reason it is safe to throw it away after one use.

4.  - Two condoms are more effective than just
using one. This is a really risky behaviour
because it increases the likelihood of the condom
to break. The friction between the two intensifies
because of the rubbing motion.
 - Balloons and plastic wraps may be used as a
condom substitute. The condom has been
specifically made for this purpose and it is not
interchangeable with just any type of plastic
wrap.
 - Washing, urinating or douching after sex will
help remove the sperm. A woman may not be
able to remove all of the sperm even if she
douches and urinates after sex.

5. - Even though the woman is not taking her pills
regularly, she is still protected. Hormonal
contraceptives may take time before taking full
effect, thus most doctors would recommend
having an additional form of contraception for a
month.
 The correct method of using each form of birth
control is also important. A NuvaRing
contraceptive legal action was taken by a woman
who have experienced negative effects from her
vaginal ring, news reports say. This information
may even be found at the NuvaRing Lawsuit
Information Center at the nuvaring-lawsuit.com
