Family planning is the ability for a woman or couple to determine when and how
many children they are going to have by practicing safe sexual practices. This keeps the
prospective parents healthy and without child until a time of their choosing. It also
includes teaching teens and children about sexuality and reproduction to keep them
from having children before they are ready and providing contraception.
The majority of Filipinos are in favor of family planning. The catholic church
teaches the necessity of responsible parenthood and correct family planning ( one child
at a time depending on one¶s circumstances), while at the same time teaching that large
families are a sign of a God¶s blessings. It teaches that modern natural family planning,
a method of fertility awareness, is in accord with couples to have government funded
access to artificial contraception methods as well.
The proponents state that RH will mean:
(1) Information and access to natural and modern family planning
(2) Maternal, infant and child health and nutrition
(3) Promotion of breast feeding
(4)Prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications
(5) Adolescent and youth health
(6) Prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/ AIDS and
STDs
(7) Elimination of violence against women
(8) Counseling on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health
(9) Treatment of breast and reproductive tract cancers
(10) Male involvement and participation in RH:
(11) Prevention and treatment of infertility and
(12) RH education for the youth.

Family planning tools are categorized into two: Natural Family Planning & the Artificial
Family Planning Methods.
Family planning helps you prevent conception and reduce the risk of pregnancy. The
biggest advantage of family tools is that they save you from the hassles of pregnancy
termination and abortion.
p
: One of the most effective ways of natural family planning is abstinence.
Couples who do not want to have a baby and want to avoid taking artificial
contraceptives, should keep away from sexual intercourse during the fertile days of the
woman. For this method to work out, the women should keep track of their menstrual
cycles to know the timing of their ovulation and the period during when there is high risk
of getting pregnant.
: Condoms are the most commonly used male contraceptive to escape
pregnancy. Using condoms during sexual intercourse acts like a barrier for sperms to
enter the vagina, thus restricting their contact with the egg. In recent times, even female
condoms are available in the market. Along with birth control, a condom also helps in
the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. There have been cases where
condoms have failed to avoid pregnancy, but this is mostly due to defective condoms or
incorrect use of the condom.
( . : refers to permanent contraception by surgical procedures, to avoid future
pregnancies. It is a method of birth control suited for couples who do not want to have
any more children or couples who don't want to have even a single child. Vasectomy is
the procedure for men and tubectomy or tubal ligation for women. It is by far the safest
and most effective method of pregnancy control, though irreversible. Sterilizing is done
permanently and is a full proof method.

This chapter presents some literatures and studies that are useful in the construction of
the research framework and in drawing inferences of this study.
Popper-bearing IUDs increase blood flow volumes by 20% to 50% above levels
before IUD insertion. Increased menstrual bleeding, often with pain, is the problem that
women most often report while using copper-bearing IUD. Many women who have these
complaints keep their IUDs nonetheless. Overall rates of removal because of bleeding and
pain at 12 months of use range from 1 to 17 per 100 women in major clinical trials .

want contraceptive methods that provide highly effective protection and at the same
