    Lactational Amenorrhea Method Dr. Raqibat Idris [email protected] From Research to Practice: Training in Sexual and Reproductive Health Research 2017 Objectives of presentation • Define Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) • Understand the mechanism of action of LAM • Know the efficacy of LAM • Know and describe the 3 criteria for LAM • Know the indication and contraindications for LAM • Know the focus and timing of counselling for LAM • List the advantages, disadvantages and health benefits of LAM • Know the elements of programming necessary for the provision of quality LAM services Introduction Breastfeeding delays the return of a woman’s fertility in the first few months following childbirth. Women who breastfeed are less likely to ovulate in this period. When compared with women who breastfeed partially or who do not breastfeed at all, women who breastfeed more intensively are less likely to have a normal ovulation before their first menstrual bleed postpartum (Berens et al., 2015). In a consensus meeting in Bellagio, Italy in 1998, scientists proposed that women who breastfeed fully or nearly fully while they remain amenorrhoeic in the first 6 months postpartum experience up to 98% protection from pregnancy. This formed the basis for the Lactational Amenorrhea Method and has since then been tested and confirmed by other studies (Berens et al., 2015; Van der Wijden et al., 2003; WHO, 1999).

  • Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM)
    Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) What is the lactational amenorrhea method? Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) is a natural and healthy fertility awareness based method (FABM) of family planning. The LAM is a special FABM that can be used by post-partum, breastfeeding mothers. How does LAM Work? Breastfeeding delays the return of a mother’s ovulation (when the woman’s ovary releases an egg) and may make her infertile for six months or more. LAM is an easy tool for post-partum women to use to avoid a pregnancy if they meet the following criteria: 1. Menstrual bleeding has not resumed; AND 2. The infant is exclusively or nearly exclusively breastfed frequently, day and night; AND 3. The infant is under six months of age Women who meet all 3 criteria are not likely to become pregnant and do not need to use another method of birth control. How effective is LAM in helping couples avoid pregnancy? International research among many different populations has shown that the LAM is 99.5% effective with perfect use and 98% effective with typical use. This means that if a woman and her baby meet all three criteria, and she uses every opportunity to breastfeed her baby, the likelihood of an unintended pregnancy is about 2%.1,2 LAM shows that a mother’s body is very good at giving her the time she needs while she cares for and bonds with her new baby! Can LAM help couples achieve pregnancy? No; the LAM is not designed for this goal, but . If a breastfeeding woman notices that one of the three conditions above is missing, then she would know that pregnancy could be more likely since ovulation may return.

    LACTATIONAL AMENORRHEA AND OTHER FERTILITY AWARENESS BASED METHODS I. INTRODUCTION Fertility Awareness Based Methods (FAB) or Natural Family Planning (NFP) interprets signs and patterns of fertility to identify days in each menstrual cycle when intercourse is most likely to result in a pregnancy. This information may be used to avoid or achieve pregnancy. Couples who use a barrier method on fertile days or who abstain from intercourse during a woman’s fertile period are using fertility awareness- combined method/natural family planning. Natural family planning methods used to prevent pregnancy are 75-98% effective. Women with conditions that make pregnancy an unacceptable risk should be advised that FAB methods might not be appropriate for them because of the relatively higher typical-use failure rates of these methods. Natural Family Planning may be indicated for purposes of: A. Conception B. Avoiding pregnancy C. Detecting pregnancy (basal body temperature) D. Detecting impaired fertility (charting fertility signs and determining infrequent or absent ovulation with basal body temperature) E. Detecting need for medical attention (change in cervical secretions, abdominal pain, and other signs and symptoms may indicate need for medical attention- reproductive tract infections) II. GENERAL INFORMATION One or more indicators are used to identify the beginning and end of the fertile time in the menstrual cycle. In most cycles, ovulation occurs on or near the middle of the cycle. The fertile period lasts for about 6 days (5 days preceding ovulation and day of ovulation). In cycles that range between 26 and 32 days long (approx 78% of the cycles) the fertile period is highly likely to fall within days 8 to 19.

The structural formulas are as follows: CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACODYNAMICS Combination oral contraceptives (COCs) act by suppression of gonadotropins. Although the primary mechanism of this action is inhibition of ovulation, other alterations include changes in the cervical mucus (which increases the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus) and the endometrium (which reduces the likelihood of implantation).

  • Natural Family Planning BRIAN A
    Natural Family Planning BRIAN A. SMOLEY, CDR, MC, USN, Camp Pendleton, California CHRISTA M. ROBINSON, LCDR, MC, USN, Naval Hospital Lemoore, Lemoore Station, California Natural family planning methods provide a unique option for committed couples. Advantages include the lack of medical adverse effects and the opportunity for participants to learn about reproduction. Modern methods of natural family planning involve observation of biologic markers to identify fertile days in a woman’s reproductive cycle. The timing of intercourse can be planned to achieve or avoid pregnancy based on the identified fertile period. The current evidence for effectiveness of natural family planning methods is limited to lower-quality clini- cal trials without control groups. Nevertheless, perfect use of these methods is reported to be at least 95 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. The effectiveness of typical use is 76 percent, which demonstrates that motivation and commitment to the method are essential for success. Depending on the method, couples can learn about natural family planning methods in a sin- gle office visit, through online instruction, or from certified instructors.
