10 millions de dollars de contraceptifs vont être brûlés dans quelques jours en Europe, sur ordre de Trump. Nos dirigeant·es commencent à céder à la pression publique. Nous pouvons empêcher cette destruction et protéger la santé et la dignité des femmes. Signez DÈS MAINTENANT :

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

I am not a doctor. Even if I were, I am not YOUR doctor. I do not have access to your medical records.

America’s Top #Archivist Puts a Rosy Spin on U.S. #History—Pruning the Thorny Parts

“For an #exhibit about #patents that had changed the world, Shogan directed that the patent for the #contraceptive pill be replaced. Aides substituted the patent for television. 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…”

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.

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.

#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.
