Are bifocal contacts easier for men or women to get used to?
These multifocal lenses work a bit differently than conventional contacts do. There are two powers on each contact -- one to correct vision up close, and one for far away. Certain types of bifocal lenses are made very much like bifocal eyeglasses are. This means they have two different prescriptions with the close up vision correction on the bottom and far away vision correction on top with a line separating the two. Other types of bifocal contacts blend the two types of prescriptions together like progressive lens eyeglasses do. Your eye doctor will determine which type of lens is best for you. This does not answer my question AT ALL ! I wasnted to know if it's easier for men or women to get used to bifocal contacts. the reason I ask is that I had absolutely no problem from the first second I got mine but my brother & a male first cousin could not wear them at all. I've heard that the 2 hemispheres of the female brain communicate more than the hemispheres of male brains. I was wondering if that fact accounted for the difference between my experience & that of my male relatives.
What is the difference between temporary contraceptive methods and permanent contraceptive methods?
Temporary are methods like the a condom, the pill, the patch, or the ring. Things like that at which you can stop using at any time to try to become pregnant. Permanent methods are like a visectomy or getting your tubes tied. Things that will last for the rest of your life if you decide you never want a baby.
A tubectomy also referred to, as tubal ligation is a permanent method of contraception.
This surgical procedure is no longer the only method of permanent birth control for women, with new devices that are placed in the fallopian tubes that creates scarring of the tubes, forming a natural barrier - preventing sperm from accessing the ripe ovum and preventing the ovum from traveling to the uterus.
Can the essure birth control coil be removed?
According to the literature, no. The surgery would require removal of part of the fallopian tubes, therefore rendering them useless in getting pregnant. That's why this is a permanent form of birth control.
Yes, it can be done and has been by at least two tubal reversal doctors. Check out this URL to see what I mean: http://www.tubal-reversal.net/blog/tag/essure
Can you get a tattoo if you're on Depo-Provera?
I have multiple tattoos, and have been on hormonal birth control (of varying types) since I was 15. I've researched the health risks of tattoos, and have never once heard of a contraindication between tattoos, and hormonal birth control. Should be fine.
How old do you have to be to buy birth control in Indiana?
- You can get condoms and you don't have to be a certain age to buy them. Teens of any age can buy condoms from a drugstore, pharmacy, grocery store, or even online. A pack of twelve condoms costs about $12.
- You can get condoms for free or at a reduced cost from health clinics (like Planned Parenthood), HIV testing centers, and local health departments. (Call 1-800-230-PLAN (7526) for the nearest Planned Parenthood Health Center.)

I don't see why not. Sounds logical. That's what I should have done. Lost my pills half way through the pack, so I just started a new month. Now my menstrual cycle is all messed up. The best thing to do would be to just call your doctor and ask for his advice.
What should she do to prevent the daisy from fertilizing its own eggs?
To prevent a daisy from self-fertilizing, she can physically remove the stamens (male reproductive parts) from the flower before they release pollen. This can prevent the flower from fertilizing its own eggs through self-pollination. Alternatively, she can plant different daisy varieties in the vicinity to promote cross-pollination by attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Who said Beautiful words are not true and true words are not beautiful?
True words are not beautiful. Beautiful words are not truthful. (Lao Tzu - the Chinese writer of Dao De Ching)
(In theory she is apparently, if you Google Margret Sanger, lots of articles appear to pop up about some aim she had within the idea of birth control clinics that has a hint of supposed racism)
There is no hint. She met with the KKK and had a very specifically named "Negro Project" which clearly defines her aims, even if, thankfully, she never succeeded. The basics of getting birth control out to women was awesome, and she should be commended for it, but her intentions were never truly so pure:
What is written in the previous paragraph is misleading. She did not meet with the KKK. She was asked to speak before many many groups. One of those groups that asked her to speak was a group of KKK wives. She agreed to speek with them (as she spoke with many groups, regardless of religion, race, ideology, etc.), but she remarked afterwards that it was a very strange meeting and that she had to talk to them as if they were children (because apparently she felt they were not very bright or educated).
Her views about race were very complicated, as were her views on "eugenics." Regarding eugenics, she believed in some respects in "negative eugenics" -- i.e., that bad genes in the gene pool should not be spread through reproduction. But she did not believe in positive eugenics -- i.e., the idea that you could create a better gene pool through reproduction by better specimens of people (like the Nazi idea of the Master Race (Ubermenschen)). She always believed that healthy women, regardless of race or religion or color, should be able to make their own choices about birth control, and the only way to control population was to educate women.
Other than that, as I already wrote, her views on race were very complicated. She was shaped, in part, by her times. Some of her views could certainly be termed racist by today's standards, but some of her views on race could be regarded as extremely progressive.
In short, this question cannot be answered by a direct and unequivocal "yes" or "no."
What is the sexual sterilization used by the Nazi Germans?
It was the compulsory sterilization program, based on the "Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring" of 1933. In regulated the enforced sterilization of the mentally handicapped, the blind and the physically deformed among others. The law resulted in 400,000 sterilizations. Although you might not expect it, the idea - and practice - of enforced sterilization of the mentally handicapped first came up in the US, but was discontinued there after a number of years for ethical reasons.
What did bordellos of the wild west use for birth control?
Some used a small sponge soaked in an alcohol based liquid (like brandy) or lemon juice as a barrier. Condoms made of sheep skin were also used.

What is the difference between hot and cold working table?
The names say it all...
Cold working is done cold, i.e. part at room temperature. It essentially pushed into something to deform it. This yields the part, technically increasing its yield for further use, but it will decrease the stress required to go from its new yield to its max tensile. Be advised, for very thick parts, like bars above 2", only the outer portions will cold work, the core will keep the same properties as un-worked metal.
Hot working heats the part up above its recrystallization temperature so along with deformation, the part recrystallizes, thereby not cold working it. Hot working does not give a yield strength increase like cold working does.
Contraceptive jelly is a spermicide with the consistency of hair gel. On its own, it's not very effective, but it is useful in conjunction with a second method.
When does Mirena become effective?
If started within the first seven days of menstrual bleeding, no back up method is needed - it's immediately effective. If started at any other time in the menstrual cycle, use a back up method for seven days. If you're switching from the shot, implant, or a birth control pill, continue the hormonal birth control method for seven days if you're not in the first five days of menstrual bleeding. If you're starting on the day of an in-clinic suction abortion, no backup is needed.
What if you accidentally left the NuvaRing in for 2 months?
Remove the NuvaRing, replace it with a new one, get a pregnancy test if you've had intercourse during the previous four weeks, consider emergency contraception if you've had intercourse in the prior 72 hours, and consult your health care provider.
How do you push the baby out of the vagina?
it comes naturally you feel an urge to push then you push like your having a big poo and when the head appears pant the head out to prevent tearing the vagina.
How can you tell if an IUD slipped?
Can you still feel the string or is there too much string in the vagina ? If it moves out of place the string will normally disappear or there will be too much hanging out of the uterus. See a Dr.
What would cause the outlet plugs in your house to stop working?
You have a loose connection somewhere. It is very common especially if your wiring is aluminum, Because when amperage flows through a conductor it heats up, when something heats ups and cools off it expands and contracts, aluminum has a lower melting temp. than copper there for it expands more so than copper so it will loosen up connections more so than copper...
