Free Secrets to be a Healthy Women

Perhaps this may not be so in your experience but there is no doubt that surprise pregnancies can be either exciting or devastating.  We derive the name “surprise pregnancies” because, as is fairly obvious, they are that way because they were not planned. Sometimes this may occur when you are  not ready or properly able to care for a baby. You thought you were doing everything correctly by using birth control, but some-how something went wrong. What was it?

Often one could cite  many reasons why you might have become pregnant, and the following will mention six main reasons why your contraceptives might not have worked.

One of the main problems regarding almost all contraceptive failures are about the improper use of the chosen method. Quite often  it is difficult for women to remember the contraceptive or perhaps it was just something that was forgotten in the moment. Either way, pregnancy was the result.

It is very important that instructions for contraceptives have to be adhered to very strictly. One example of this is that the pill has to be taken at the same time everyday and if there is a cycle to it, it needs to be taken in the exact cycles. As with all medications, contraceptives have instructions and to prevent failure, it is vitally important to read and follow the instructions exactly.  Other contraceptives such as condoms, have basic instruction such as never reuse them; use them properly and check for good condition. As well other contaceptive methods such as diaphragms or cervical caps need to be placed properly into your cervix area and have to have good coverage of your cervix. There are instructions for IUDs, it is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations, advice and it is very important to visit all the required checkups set by your physician’s reception.

Another huge problem is consistency. It is very important to be consistent when using your contraceptive. There is no doubt that you take your chances if you only take the pill on days you remember. One definitely has to take the pill on all days or at least on days of the cycle. Contraceptives must to be taken or used on all days. It is true that there are only a few days that the female body is not fertile and those are very difficult to determine, contraceptives need to be taken as written down in the instructions as well as remaining consistent.

Another reason for contraceptive failure is the broken condom. Broken condoms make up for a small percentage of all surprise pregnancies, but are not as uncommon as you might think. Even though condom makers test their condoms for a great stretch. Nevertheless they can be used improperly or come in contact some sharp object so that it breaks. This isn’t such a common reason for failure, but nevertheless it is one reason.

A fourth reason why that contraceptive you used failed is the use of other medications that might interfere with the contraceptive. Certain drugs and medications can change or reduce the contraceptives power. This mostly happens with certain antibiotics and particular herbs. It is always wise to be aware of what you take or what else you might have to use to prevent pregnancy when having intercourse.

The next relates to ignorance. People believe that they cannot get pregnant while they are having their period. However this is not so. There is no doubt that if  you have unprotected sex while having your period, you can become pregnant.

Finally, another big group of surprise pregnancies comes from nursing moms. That‘s correct. It is a well-known myth that you cannot get pregnant while nursing. But as with so many myths it is not totally true. Nursing does produce certain hormones in the female body that reduce the fertility and it is less likely to get pregnant.  However this does not act  like a contraceptive and getting pregnant is what could result if you do not use proper contraceptives.

Life is full of "waxing and waning", "ebb and flow" and healthy women need to tune in to their bodily awareness and understand that it is no different with her menstrual cycle. It is very evident that we experience times of  needing to passive or active, and this will sometimes co-incide with hormonal changes occurring within the body. A woman may or may not need to rest more at the time of your menstrual cycle. The main thing is that she learns to tune into her body's signals and respond accordingly.  Hormone balance can definitely affect how energetic a woman may feel, how emotional she becomes, how well she can concentrate and how she manages in everyday demands of caring for children or work demands. It is my observation that all of this is a major quality as it is evidence of a woman's uniqueness, and if understood correctly, adds to a woman's strength. It depicts the fact that women have the ability to flow with the demands of life, to act in a nurturing and intuitive fashion, and thus need to honour the changes occuring within their body as a reflection of this.

Hormones of course play a major part, and when out of balance can produce numerous problems such as PMS (premenstrual syndrome), heavy periods and fertility issues. Thus we need to address ways of keeping our hormones balanced and one way can be a natural approach by using appropriate herbs. 

Today there are a number of gynaecologists who are trained both medically and as naturopaths who would be willing to assist in recommending various herbs which help balance the hormones so that a woman can lead a better quality of life. Seek advice and work out whether the following amazing herbs would be of use to you.

1.Pulsitta. Certain dried parts of this beautiful flower are used as a tincture can relieve premenstrual tension, inflammation and pain in the ovaries, and suppressed periods amongst other things. NOTE: Never use this plant as a fresh plant though as it is poisonous. As mentioned before though, seek advice of a qualified herbalist as this herb, used correctly, can have amazing benefits.

2.Wild oats, vervain and chamomile… great for relieving tension anxiety and depression.

3. Fluid retention and bloating..    burdock and dandelion leaf.

Numerous other herbs are extremely helpful. It goes without saying, that lifestyle can significantly affect how your body works.

This is but a brief overview, with the intention of encouraging all women to know and appreciate their own body's functioning. Correct education, lifestyle and nutrition adds to their ability to be successful professional women, mothers and friends.  Educated understanding of the menstrual cycle contributes to the liklihood that women will indeed be healthy and honored.
