  7. The #contraceptive pill has been hailed as one of the most revolutionary health technologies of the 20th century – a tool that gave #women control over their #fertility and paved the way for education and careers. But a new study suggests that this freedom may have come at a hidden cost: impaired #mental health.

    Saheli, a 'non-steroidal non-hormonal contraceptive pill'. Saheli dosage starts 1 pill per half-week for ... (?), then 1 pill weekly. Basically induce a brief, mini-menopause that stops when you stop the pills. saheliinfo.com/clinical-eviden

    Then! ONE-YEAR vaginal ring Annovera. Unlike monthly-ish vaginal rings, (medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6) this thicker vaginal ring holds enough for 13 cycles with one week bleeding breaks, or 12 if you skip periods. Think "buff NuvaRing". annoverahcp.com/

    Speaking of intra-uterine system / device options: the UK does several! We are no longer stuck with the larger, higher dose Mirena hIUS. mirena.co.uk/ I want the smaller, lower dose (but shorter duration) Jaydess fsrh.org/Public/Public/Documen or Kyleena. medicines.org.uk/emc/product/7

    (You can fit a non-hormonal IUD copper coil as emergency contraception, within 10 days of unprotected sex. Fitting it as regular birth control anytime otherwise is also fine, when not pregnant.) patient.info/sexual-health/lon

    Finally, vasectomy. New part is "I found multiple cases where doctors did their own vasectomies". This may be helpful for hesitant cis men and AMAB people to know. Vasectomies are reversible ("easily", according to a medical nerd friend, but obv different people's bodies respond to things in weird, cool ways, so everything depends). baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/f

During discussions about what to use instead of the #birth-control pill, an aide to Shogan suggested a patent for the bump stock, a device that allows a semiautomatic weapon to operate as a machine gun…”

  14. Emergency #contraceptive pills such as PlanB & Ella work by inhibiting or delaying ovulation, thus preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg.

    A copper #IUD interferes w/sperm movement, making it harder to reach an egg. Hormonal IUDs thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg & can prevent ovulation.

  15. The #conservative #Christian #Idaho Family Pol Ctr is recommending states #ban #access to emergency #contraception & #IUD, which they mislabel as “#abortifacients” in a paper outlining next steps “now that we’ve successfully eliminated elective abortion.”

    #Medical societies say it’s wrong to characterize emergency #contraceptive pills, a #BirthControl method used w/in days of unprotected sex, & IUDs, which are long-acting & reversible, as causing #abortions bc NEITHER END AN EXISTING PREGNANCY.

  16. #Male #contraceptive disables #sperm
    #Men produce several million sperm per day—1,000/s. To prevent #pregnancy, all of these need to be stopped from reaching an egg. Soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is needed to trigger sperm swimming. Male mice engineered to lack sAC are infertile. Men who have naturally occurring mutations that inactivate sAC are also infertile. #NIH-funded team of researchers, developed a compound called #TDI11861 that binds and inhibits sAC.

    Well, we are having some good news!

    Unanimous decision: 17-0 vote on whether consumers can follow #Opill's packaging instructions and don't need a doctor to explain how to take a #contraceptive at the same time every day.

    Expect ungodly backlash from the forced pregnancy contingent, as this gives people who can get pregnant agency over their own bodies, and #Fascists can't have that.

    -

    A former CVS Health nurse practitioner is suing the pharmacy chain for firing her after she refused to prescribe birth control, citing her religious beliefs.

    Texas resident J. Robyn Strader said in the suit that her Baptist Christian faith prevents her from prescribing contraceptive and abortion-inducing drugs. She said that for six and a half years, CVS granted her a religious accommodation to forego having to prescribe the drugs at the CVS MinuteClinic where she worked. When a customer needed the prescription, she would refer them to a colleague or another CVS MinuteClinic.

    But in August 2021, CVS said it was revoking all religious accommodations. That's illegal, Strader and her attorneys argue, citing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which states employers cannot “avoid accommodating a religious practice that it could accommodate without undue hardship," and another court decision that states religious accommodation requests must be considered on an individual-employee basis.

    CVS spokesperson Mike DeAngeles said in an email that “educating and treating patients regarding sexual health matters — including pregnancy prevention” had become “essential” as the company had expanded its clinic services, and that it could not grant a religious accommodation excusing employees from them.
