Methods of contraception and fertility awareness techniques.
- The Rhythm method and calendar method are crucial for understanding fertility windows and preventing conception during high fertilization periods.
- Withdrawal or Kus interruptus involves the male partner withdrawing before ejaculation to prevent insemination, but it's not foolproof.
- Lactational amoria relies on breastfeeding to reduce the chances of conception, but it's not always effective.
- Barrier methods like condoms prevent sperm and egg from meeting, with Neroda being a popular brand for males.
- Diaphragms, cervical caps, and walls act as barriers to block sperm entry and can be enhanced with spermicidal creams.
- Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are popular in India, with non-mediated, copper-releasing, and hormone-releasing options like Lipes Loop, C cu7, and Progestrate.
- IUDs increase phagocytosis of sperm, suppress sperm motility, and decrease fertilizing capacity, while hormone-releasing IUDs make the uterus unsuitable for implantation.
- Hormone-releasing IUDs also reduce the cervix's hospitability to sperm, making them ideal for contraception.

"Contraceptive Methods: IUDs, Pills, Saheli, Injections"
- IUDs reduce the cervix's hostility to sperm, making it unsuitable for implantation.
- IUDs are considered the most ideal contraceptive method due to their effectiveness.
- Barrier methods include condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, spermicidal jellies, foams, and creams.
- IUDs can be non-medicated (copper-releasing) or hormone-releasing (progesterone or LNG 20).
- Oral contraceptives come in two combinations: progesterone alone or progesterone plus estrogen.
- Oral contraceptives are taken daily for 21 days, starting within the first 5 days of the menstrual cycle.
- Oral contraceptives inhibit ovulation, implantation, and alter cervical mucus to prevent sperm entry.
- Pills are effective with fewer side effects and are preferred by females over barrier methods.
- Saheli is a new oral contraceptive without steroids, taken once a week with high contraceptive value.
- Progesterone alone or in combination with estrogen can also be used as injectables or implants, with similar action to pills.

"Contraceptives and Neural Control: Instructor Update"
- Oral contraceptives consist of a combination of progesterone and estrogen, thickening cervical mucus to prevent ovulation and implantation.
- The instructor apologizes for stopping abruptly due to feeling tired, encourages students to rest, revise their studies, and announces upcoming lessons on neural control and coordination, while also promoting an ongoing sale on educational materials.
