Birth Control: Why Doctors Should Offer Natural Birth Control Like CycleBeads

[kozychik]

Even if you don't use these as your sole method of birth control, I think this could be a good way of helping women be more in touch with your body, aware of its rhythms, and comfortable and confident with being a woman.

I would like to see each girl given these as a teaching tool when they start to menstruate to make them more informed, confident and comfortable with their own bodies. This can only lead to them making better choices for themselves in the long run.

There is now an iPhone app based on the Standard Days Method - iCycleBeads. For anyone who has ever wanted a "high tech" version of CycleBeads, it is available at the iTunes store. Works on your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. An Android version is coming soon.

I learned about this stuff when I was 12, yes I was gettin' into dating & I made it my business to know what I was gettin' myself into. They have phone apps called "Mydays" that are the computer version of these beads. It beats having your gallbladder taken out cause U were on the patch or whatever or a blood clot that can cause U to lose a limb or even UR life.

Indeed this is important information for girls and women!

Regarding computer and phone apps, there are a few out there based on various natural birth control methods.  Currently, there are NO apps available based on the Standard Days Method, the method behind CycleBeads (both are protected under patent). However, an app is being developed and is coming soon . . . !

Interesting points about reasons providers don't offer natural methods. I hear these all the time from my colleagues. It is amazing how pervasive these attitudes are in the medical community. It is a difficult situation to change since these perceptions are so entrenched. Hopefully some of the methods like this one that are effective in the real world (not just in theory) will help change this thinking.
