Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Tests were made on 10 normal women with normal menstrual history. I n all 10 of the women, serum magnesium

concentrations were lower during the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle than during either the follicular or the

luteal phases. In 6 of the women, the decrease was significant at the p less than .03 level. Serum magnesium

levels declined in women taking combined oral contraceptives during the first 8 days of therapy. It is hypothesized

that the magnesium decline is the result of estrogen activity. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 4533-06)
