CONTRACEPTION: Women's Contraceptive Perceptions And Realities Don't Match UpFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 18 Oct 2008 12:36:54 -0500 (CDT)
Women's Contraceptive Perceptions And Realities Don't Match Up "Women's feelings and behaviors concerning contraception are conflicted, yet many don't seek out methods that could better satisfy their needs, according to a new survey conducted on behalf of Schering-Plough by Harris Interactive(R). In the survey, "Contraceptive Habits," a small percentage of women (six percent) said they worry most about the possibility of getting pregnant when it comes to sex, yet 46 percent of women using birth control say they often feel relieved to get their periods if they've been sexually active. One in five women (21 percent) who currently use, or have previously used, hormonal contraceptives say they have difficulty remembering to use their birth control sometimes. Yet 75 percent of these same women say they never sacrifice spontaneity due to their birth control method. "Overall, this is a wake-up call for women to evaluate how happy they really are with their current method and recognize that they don't have to settle for the status quo when it comes to birth control options."
