Is it possible to get pregnant while using contraceptives? The best contraceptives Is it possible to get pregnant using candles.
One of the troubles that always lies in wait for women is an unplanned pregnancy. Contraceptive suppositories can be a solution to this problem.
Every year, doctors perform more and more abortion procedures. Why do women neglect the elementary rules of safe intercourse? Indeed, at present everything is so simple - just take a pill or use a contraceptive candle, and that's it! Well, it's much easier than going to the hospital and terminating your unwanted pregnancy, especially since it's hard not only morally, but also dangerous to health.
Pregnancy is easier to prevent than to terminate
Varieties of contraceptive suppositories
To begin with, we propose to determine which drugs can be attributed to contraceptive candles.
As a rule, under the concept of "contraceptives", women mean intravaginal pills, and special tampons, and even creams. Without violating this tradition, in this article, mentioning contraceptive suppositories, we will mean all these drugs too. We also want to draw your attention to the fact that we will not indicate the names of contraceptives here. Since every woman's body has individual characteristics in each specific case she, when choosing a contraceptive, you need to consult with your doctor.
Contraceptive suppositories: the effect of drugs
All currently existing contraceptive suppositories are divided by specialists into certain types, in accordance with what their composition is. Often, only 2 substances underlie the action of modern contraceptives:
- Nonaxinalone. This chemical works in the following way:
spermatozoa, this element has a somewhat peculiar paralytic effect. In turn, the cervix begins to produce more mucus, and as a result, spermatozoa cannot enter the uterine cavity at all, and, as a result, pregnancy does not occur.
Contraceptive suppositories - effective remedy contraception
1. Benzalkonium chloride. This chemical element has a similar principle
impact. It destroys the entire shell of male spermatozoa, and when they enter the fallopian tubes, they are already completely destroyed, and, accordingly, lose their ability to naturally fertilize the egg.
The effectiveness of contraceptive suppositories
Women should remember that all candles sold in pharmacies give only 85 percent guarantee that unwanted pregnancy will not occur. Thus, there remains about a 15 percent chance that a woman will still have an unwanted pregnancy after intercourse. Experts say that about 10 percent of these 15 are the fault of the girl, i.e. improper storage of candles, or their illiterate use. That is why it is so important that women carefully follow the instructions for the use of contraceptive suppositories, and do not deviate from it even a step.
What affects the effectiveness of contraceptive suppositories?
1. Hygiene products.
Since candles themselves are so-called complex acids, which means they are afraid of alkalis. For this reason, women should carefully reconsider their views on the use of intimate hygiene cosmetics. Almost all of them are characterized by a high pH level - that is, they act as strong alkalis. After washing (just before intercourse), a woman inserts a candle into the vagina, and as a result, the remnants of any detergent immediately enter into an active chemical reaction. For this reason, the effect of the contraceptive used is instantly reduced, and the result is one - an unwanted pregnancy.
2. The time between washing and intercourse.
Remember the important rule of 30 minutes. Whatever hygiene product you use, be sure to pay attention to the fact that the time between washing and using a contraceptive candle is more than 30 minutes. During this time, the secretions of the glands that are located on the cervix completely neutralize the remnants of the detergent you use.
It is not recommended to use candles immediately after a bath or shower.
3. Duration of sexual intercourse.
Do not forget about the time during which contraceptive candles work. You should not believe what is written on the packaging itself - usually manufacturers, in order to attract consumers, somewhat overestimate the period of action of the drugs. Indeed, contraceptives unwanted pregnancy effectively protect only during the first thirty minutes, a maximum of forty. Accordingly, it is necessary to calculate the time correctly. And do not hope for luck, especially if repeated sexual contact is made after a short period of time. Know that the action of 1 contraceptive candle is simply not enough for 2 sexual intercourse.
Who is suitable for contraceptive candles?
Immediately note that if a woman has a sufficiently active sex life, then it is better for her to think about the selection of another means for contraception. Experts believe that suppositories are more suitable for use with single sexual intercourse, when the installation of a special intrauterine device and the systematic use of hormonal pills are simply impractical.
Contraceptive candles are considered the right solution for those girls and women who, for whatever reason, have serious contraindications to the use of other contraceptives.
What are contraceptive candles good for?
Contraceptive suppositories are good because, in addition to protecting against pregnancy, they have a detrimental effect on pathogenic microflora - both viral and bacterial pathogens. But a woman should not completely rely on birth control candles. Yes, they are antiseptics, but they cannot fully protect women from a wide range of sexually transmitted diseases.
Rules for using contraceptive candles
Before sexual intercourse, for the time that is indicated directly in the instructions for the drug, the candle must be inserted as deep as possible into the vagina. On average, the action of the candle lasts about 40 minutes. Before each repeated sexual intercourse, it is necessary to introduce an additional 1 candle.
Contraindications for use
- if there are any inflammatory processes;
- if there are diseases of the genitourinary system;
- during vaginal therapy.
In all of the above cases, a woman should stop using contraceptive suppositories.
Contraceptive suppositories have their own contraindications
Positive and negative qualities of contraceptive suppositories
It goes without saying that contraceptive suppositories, like any other drugs, have both positive and negative qualities:
positive characteristic
As already mentioned, in addition to the direct purpose - protecting a woman from unwanted pregnancy, candles are to some extent able to protect against diseases, bacteria and viruses.
Also, contraceptive suppositories can provide quite a good service for those girls who have problems with lubrication. When there is insufficient lubrication, or not at all, intercourse may cause discomfort. Candles are almost completely able to solve this problem.
Negative characteristic
Modern contraceptive suppositories, if they are used regularly by a woman, may not affect the microflora of the vagina for the better. Doctors note that in those women who often use contraceptive suppositories, vaginal dysbacteriosis is often detected during examination.
When using birth control pills, severe irritation is possible, which entails an inflammatory process of the mucous membrane of the cervix and vagina. As a result, women may experience an uncomfortable itching/burning sensation. It is important to note that the feeling of discomfort over time can lead to the fact that a woman will have to not only forget about sexual intercourse, but also urgently turn to a gynecologist.
Some women note the fact that the use of contraceptive candles deprives them of those feelings that only the effect of spontaneous intercourse can bring. And this is understandable, because women have to accurately calculate the time, since the candle must be inserted into the vagina 5-10 minutes before sexual intercourse, and then go to bed and start love joy until the effect of this candle is over. Agree, discipline does not add pleasure.
When using contraceptive suppositories, you will have to forget about surprises

Thank you very much, looking forward to your reply, Valentina.
Responsible Sudarikov Igor Vitalievich:
Dear Valentina! In the above spermogram, attention is drawn to the low number of actively motile forms of spermatozoa, that is, precisely those that should fertilize the egg. The reason for this can be various factors: infectious, inflammatory, hormonal, vascular, autoimmune, etc. Only an additional examination can answer the question about the leading cause, since the probability of becoming pregnant with the current analysis is very small. I cannot judge the quality of your treatment, since I am not a gynecologist. To love or not to love doctors is the business of each person. It all depends on the goal that the couple wants to achieve. Sincerely, Dr. Sudarikov.

Good afternoon. I wrote to you earlier. "Good afternoon. I am 34 years old, married, two children. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I took a course of treatment for about 2 months - Metaject injection and metipred tablets. First, the injection increased the dose, and then reduced it to a minimum. Now I want to get pregnant But now my joints started to hurt back, 2 fingers on my right hand swell in the morning, I take painkillers, I read about Chondroxide pills, I think I can drink them, but the question is - can I get pregnant after taking it? And how long should it take to get pregnant?
I know that after taking hormonal drugs, 6 months must pass, but Chondroxide is not written that it is hormonal. Help me please. How much does this drug affect the body of a woman of childbearing age. Thanks in advance.

Bosyak Julia Vasilievna answers:
Gynecologist, reproductive specialist
consultant information
Kundyz, good afternoon! It is not a fact that chondroxide will help you, in order to draw any conclusions, you need to take it for a long time (at least 6 months). This is a non-hormonal drug and does not have a negative effect on reproductive function. Pregnancy can also be planned at the minimum dose of metipred (4 mg) until the sex of the child is determined.
I missed one moment - I was given an injection for 2 months METAJECT. At first, the injection increased the dose, and then reduced it to a minimum. I read on the Internet that it must take 6 months to conceive. Please tell me if this is true or if I am wrong. Thanks in advance.
Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:
Good afternoon, Kundyz! The fact is that methotrexate has a teratogenic effect (it can cause fetal malformations), therefore, regardless of the dose, it is necessary for 6 months. use contraceptives during sexual activity. During planning, I recommend taking a folic acid supplement.

Elena asks:
Hello. I am 34 years old, there were 2 pregnancies. The first one was frozen for a period of 8.4 weeks. (14 years ago), everything is fine with the second (daughter is almost 9 years old). My cycle has always been like a clock (not plentiful, but in recent times even scanty), the first 1.5 days are painful. And in November of this year there was a failure. from November 1 to 4 mens passed. as expected, and 18 to 22 November were repeated. Since this is not typical for me, on the 19th I was already at the doctor's office.

Julia asks:
Hello!
We want a child with my husband, but on ultrasound we saw multifollicular ovaries, they prescribed a course of Midiana for 4 months in order to treat and get a "re-bound effect" so that you can immediately get pregnant.
On September 27, my period began, and I immediately took 1 tablet of Midiana from the 1st day, after 5 hours I felt the effect: I felt sick, vomited, shivered, ached in the liver area and my stomach ached.
With this in mind, I have a few questions:
1. Is it worth taking midian all 4 months or can I get by with at least 3 months to start trying to get pregnant?
2. Is it possible to start getting pregnant immediately after the course is canceled (in 1 cycle), or is it necessary to wait for time, I heard differently: after hormones, you need to wait for time or there will be a missed pregnancy or you can get pregnant right away, but twins will appear, etc.?
How can I determine that ovulation has begun after the course is cancelled?
3. Is it normal that I have such side effects after 1 dose? How long can they last?
4. I have a tendency to venous dilatation, how can I determine if thrombosis will appear as a side effect?
Thanks in advance!
Responsible Wild Nadezhda Ivanovna:
Hello! If you feel very bad after taking the drug, then why don't you go to the doctor, but ask on the Internet? After all, the doctor can examine you, but I can't. The drug needs to be changed due to poor tolerance of midiana. Opinions differ about when it is possible to become pregnant, but the occurrence of twins is possible: the percentage of twins after contraceptives is slightly higher than without them. Ovulation can be determined by a test method. There are ovulation tests in the pharmacy network, they are called "Solo". On the eve of taking Contraceptives, it is necessary to pass an blood test for coagulability - a coagulogram.
Content
To prevent unwanted pregnancy, pharmacologists have developed a group of drugs that have a local effect that destroys germ cells. Contraceptive suppositories are not a hormonal drug, they protect against conception through the destructive effect of active components on the membrane of spermatozoa with the help of spermicidal acid. Vaginal contraceptives are one of the most effective methods of protection against conception, unlike intrauterine contraception, due to the content of active chemical components.
What are contraceptive suppositories
Vaginal contraceptive suppositories are one of the methods of chemical external local contraception using pharmacological preparations. The composition of suppositories includes a substance based on acid, which significantly reduces the activity of spermatozoa and has a detrimental effect on them. Contraceptive suppositories are used intravaginally, do not penetrate into the bloodstream and do not have any effect on the state of the body as a whole.
Vaginal suppositories are considered by gynecologists to be one of the most reliable methods of contraception among non-hormonal contraceptives. Fertilization does not occur due to the fact that the chemical substance contained in the drug destroys the membranes of spermatozoa. However, during unprotected intercourse for emergency contraception, candles are ineffective and do not guarantee protection against unwanted pregnancy.
Foaming suppositories
Foaming candles have good contraceptive properties. This is a less common form of topical protection against conception. When inserted into the vagina, the candle forms a foam that completely envelops the woman's internal genital organs and, due to this, has good contraceptive properties. After intercourse for 6-7 hours, you should limit the use of soap for vaginal hygiene, because. this may reduce protection against fertilization. Modern manufacturers compare the contraceptive properties of candles with the contraceptive effect of a condom.
Melting candles for contraception
Among modern contraceptive suppositories, there are melting types that dissolve under the influence of body temperature after they are inserted into the vagina. After dissolution, the suppository forms a film that plays the role of an additional lubricant, and the active substance produces a contraceptive effect. To avoid premature dissolution, you should follow the rules for storing drugs. Variants of the form of drugs do not affect the quality of protection against unwanted pregnancy.
How do contraceptive suppositories work?
After the suppository has dissolved, the active ingredients begin to act on the glands that produce cervical mucus and on the vaginal mucosa. The mucus becomes viscous, is secreted in large quantities and blocks the opening of the cervical canal. After the spermatozoa enter the vagina, the agent acts directly on the spermatozoa, destroying their shell, membranes, depriving them of their mobility and ability to penetrate the uterus and fertilize the egg.
Based on benzalkonium chloride
Non-hormonal vaginal contraceptive suppositories belong to the group of local chemical contraceptives, they have a strong destructive effect. Part of the drugs is a group that includes benzalkonium chloride. This chemical has a detrimental effect on spermatozoa, destroying the membranes of the flagella and the membrane of the sperm, after which the spermatozoon loses the ability to move and penetrate the uterine cavity. The action of such drugs begins within the first 4-5 seconds after the sperm enters the vagina.
Another property of benzalkonium chloride is the thickening of cervical (cervical) mucus, preventing the penetration of spermatozoa into the uterine cavity through the cervical canal. Chemical molecules cause hypersecretion of the glands of the cervix, as a result of which a barrier is created. The combination of these properties of drugs, according to experts, can provide high protection against fertilization.
With nonoxynol
The rest of the group of spermicidal suppositories in the main composition contains nonoxylon-9. It is a non-ionic active chemical that damages the membrane of spermatozoa, impairing their motility. The action of suppositories begins within 3-4 seconds after contact with sperm. The effectiveness of such contraceptives is on average 80%, which is not a high enough degree of protection, so it is recommended to combine spermicidal drugs with other contraceptives, such as condoms.
Indications for use
For contraceptive suppositories, there are the following indications for use:
- to prevent pregnancy in the presence of contraindications to the use of oral hormonal, barrier contraceptives;
- for contraception in the postpartum period and during breastfeeding;
- to prevent conception in case of violation of the oral contraceptive regimen.
How to use birth control candles
In order for suppositories to produce the greatest contraceptive effect, it is necessary to follow the rules for using the medication. The suppository should be inserted into the vagina as deeply as possible 10-15 minutes before the onset of sexual intercourse. The action of the contraceptive lasts about 40-50 minutes. For each sexual intercourse, you must use a new contraceptive candle.
After using the contraceptive, both partners should visit the shower, since the acid contained in the candle, with prolonged contact with the skin of the genitals, can cause irritation or a rash. Use soap when washing your face to neutralize the acid. In addition, the use of a contraceptive suppository during menstruation is not recommended, due to the fact that discharge can significantly reduce the contraceptive effect of the components of a vaginal suppository.
Can candles be used after intercourse
According to the instructions, candles from unwanted pregnancy and other contraceptives for topical use should be used strictly before the onset of intimacy. If you enter a vaginal contraceptive in the middle of sexual intercourse, then this reduces the effectiveness of this method of protection. Using a suppository after intercourse will not protect you from becoming pregnant.
Contraceptive candles - how to choose
Choose contraceptives that have a local contraceptive effect in accordance with the recommendations of your doctor. There are the following criteria for choosing a contraceptive:
- the main active ingredient;
- price;
- type of suppositories: foaming or melting.

Candles for contraception Farmateks
Benzalkonium chloride (Pharmatex) has a damaging effect on the membranes of male germ cells - spermatozoa. The detrimental effect on spermatozoa upon contact occurs after 20-25 seconds. One dose of the substance in the Pharmatex suppository is designed to destroy the spermatozoa contained in one ejaculate. In addition to the contraceptive effect, the drug exhibits antimicrobial activity against gonorrhea bacteria, the herpes virus. The average cost of the drug in Moscow and St. Petersburg is 350 rubles.
Eroteks contraceptive suppositories
Erotex is a local contraceptive. The active component of the drug - benzalkonium chloride - is a cationic chemical that has a spermicidal effect. The contraceptive effect is achieved due to the ability of the agent to destroy the cell membrane of the spermatozoon membrane. Benzalkonium chloride is able to immobilize spermatozoa. The manufacturer of contraceptives also notes that the substance has an antimicrobial effect. You can buy a contraceptive for an average of 120 rubles.
Candles for pregnancy protection Benatex
The active chemical in Benatex suppositories is a cationic detergent. It has an additional bactericidal, antifungal effect. It has high activity against the herpes virus, gram-negative bacteria. The effect of Benatex on male germ cells is based on the chemical reaction of the main substance with lipoproteins of membranes or pathogenic microorganisms, which violates the integrity of the cell. The price of the drug when sold in pharmacies ranges from 200 to 300 rubles.
Patentex oval
The ingredients that make up the drug, after the introduction of the drug under the influence of body temperature, are distributed over the mucous membrane of the vagina and cervix for several minutes. The substance Nonoxynol-9 reduces the surface tension of the membrane of the shell of spermatozoa and irreversibly neutralizes their ability to move. The average price of a contraceptive is 320 rubles.
Candles against conception nonoxynol
The composition of the contraceptive includes the substance benzalkonium chloride. Suppositories Nonoxynol have a destructive effect on spermatozoa: it fragments their head, inhibits the mobility of the flagellum. The drug Nonoxynol has an antibacterial, antifungal effect, some antiviral activity of the main active ingredient is noted. You can order candles from an online store for an average of 150 rubles.
Gynecotex candles
Gynecotex is a contraceptive drug for local intravaginal use. The active substance of the drug is benzalkonium chloride. This component is included in the group of Quaternary ammoniums. It acts as a sex cell-destroying substance and an antimicrobial agent. The benzalkonium molecule provokes the destruction of the sperm membrane. These changes in germ cells provoke their death. The cost of a contraceptive varies from 160 to 460 rubles.
sterilin
Suppositories Sterilin are a medicine with a local contraceptive effect. The substance Nonoxynol-9 has a pronounced detrimental effect on male germ cells. Nonoxynol-9 by chemical composition is a surfactant. It destroys the membrane of the neck and tail of the sperm, which leads to the destruction and loss of cell mobility. The action of Sterilin persists for 10-15 minutes after administration and lasts up to 2 hours. The price of a medicine is on average 120 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages of vaginal contraceptive suppositories
The advantages of using vaginal tablets or suppositories for local temporary contraception are the following features:
- spermicidal suppositories are suitable for women with irregular sexual intercourse;
- possible use during breastfeeding;
- contribute to the release of additional lubrication with dryness of the vaginal mucosa;
- suitable for use for an additional method of protection, for example, when using hormonal tablets or spirals;
- the components of the drug have an antiseptic effect;
- suppositories do not affect the hormonal cycle of a woman, her menstrual function, egg maturation;
- the contraceptive helps to restore the correct microflora of the vagina.
However, before using, you should consider the disadvantages of such drugs:
- components of the drug with prolonged and frequent use can cause an allergic reaction;
- you can not use the drug in inflammatory processes of the cervix, the epithelium of the walls of the vagina;
- the contraceptive does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, genital infections, so it is recommended to use a condom if you change sexual partners frequently.
Side effects and contraindications
When using contraceptive suppositories for contraception for a long time, the following side effects are possible:
- allergic reaction;
- weak chemical burns of the mucous membrane;
- irritation of the mucous membrane;
- skin rash;
- burning;
- thrush;
- vaginal dysbacteriosis;
- cervical erosion.
For contraceptive suppositories, as for any pharmaceutical product, there are a number of contraindications for use:
- individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
- inflammation of the cervix;
- malignant and benign neoplasms in the uterus.
Is it possible to take contraceptive suppositories while breastfeeding
Contraceptive suppositories for women during lactation are one of the best options for choosing protection against unwanted pregnancy. Vaginal suppositories are applied topically, intravaginally, the active ingredients that are included in contraceptive suppositories do not penetrate the vaginal membrane into the mother's bloodstream, so vaginal suppositories are contraceptives and cannot have a negative effect on an infant.
