Why do you not have to take birth control during your period?
I'm afraid you have it backwards; you have a show of vaginal bleeding because you stopped taking hormones. It's not the other way around -- you didn't stop taking the hormones because you started bleeding. Please discuss this matter with your health care provider. So many women see bleeding and stop their birth control pill, putting themselves at risk of pregnancy. You should make sure this point is clear so that you use your method correctly.

What is fertility awareness method and How to use this method in a family planning?
The calendar method is not very reliable, but the basosymptothermal method can be, and Georgetown developed the Standard Days method, which improves on the calendar/rhythm method. The fertility awareness method uses a woman's daily monitoring of temperature (before getting out of bed, and charted daily), observations of cervical location and firmness, and cervical mucus observations, along with periodic abstinence from vaginal sex during the most fertile days. If you're going to use the method, it's important to get trained by an experienced teacher. Your local Catholic Church or Planned Parenthood office can refer you to resources in your area for learning these methods.

Was the first contraceptive device was a sponge soaked in vinegar?
yes . vinegar was among one of the first contraceptives used in the olden days for example like Egypt. vinegar kills the sperms due to the fact that it contain acid. up to this day its still one of the effective techniques speaking from my experience. the only thing is the sponged vinegar has to be inserted inside the vulva before sexual intercourse otherwise pregnancy can occur if applied afterward. This IS NOT OLD HOUSE WIVES TALE but try it at your own risk.

Birth control will not give you a chemical imbalance in your head but it can effect your mood swings, sometimes to a severe extent. If this is happening to you then I would recommend you have your birth control pill changed to something more suitable to you.

That does not sound as if it is a combination that will ever cause you to get pregnant. While at 54 years old and your period just stopped two months ago there is always the possibility of you still ovulating a few more times but there is no way that vasectomy is going to reverse its self after 10 years. While you did take the MAP I do believe this was a waste of money due to the other stated issues.

If you make love while the girl is having her period, the chance are she will not get pregnant. While girl have their period, it mean that their egg is no longer can be form with sperm and produce a baby. You have a higher chance to get pregnant if you have sex with girl a week before her period come.On the other hand,you won't make a girl pregnent if you have sex with her while she having her period up to 1 week after her period end. For the safe side, keep using the condom everytime you have sex.

Does smoking affect the birth control patch?
You're not supposed to smoke while on the patch (or any birth control) because smoking, plus the hormones, seriously raise your risk of strokes, heart attacks, and elevated blood pressure (etc). Smoking while on the patch doesn't lower the patch's effectiveness, it's just really bad for you in general. But you should also remember that the patch isn't 100% effective, so you could still get pregnant.
You have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke.
