00:00One pill a day will keep the baby away.
00:02Hey!
00:04Welcome to Sex Ed Game Show, where we are putting your birth control knowledge to the test.
00:09Are you ready?
00:10Drinking what kind of juice can make your birth control less effective?
00:20I'm gonna go with tomato because it is red like a period.
00:27Oof, no.
00:29The answer is A. Grapefruit can lower levels of an enzyme that helps metabolize medications,
00:34so eating a grapefruit in the morning could disrupt the effectiveness of some hormonal birth control methods.
00:39True or false?
00:41Birth control makes you gain weight.
00:43True.
00:44Definitely true.
00:45The answer is actually false.
00:48There's no direct link between using hormonal birth control and gaining weight.
00:53What?
00:54Well that's a relief.
00:55True or false?
00:56Breastfeeding can be used as a form of birth control.
00:59Wait!
00:59I know the answer to this.
01:00I think that it is true.
01:02Your body can only do so much.
01:04That's a lot of action.
01:05Great job, Sarah.
01:06The answer is true.
01:08Yes!
01:09Yes!
01:09Technically, you can use breastfeeding as a form of birth control, but only when you exclusively breastfeed,
01:15meaning you nurse at least every four hours during the day and every six hours at night and feed your
01:20baby only breast milk.
01:21Your body naturally stops ovulating.
01:24You can't get pregnant if you don't ovulate.
01:25It's important to remember that breastfeeding can only be used as birth control for the first six months of a
01:30baby's life or until your period returns.
01:33After that, breastfeeding is way less effective, especially as the baby begins to eat solid foods and sleeps longer at
01:39night.
01:40What does spermicide do?
01:42A. Kills the sperm.
01:43B. Covers the sperm.
01:45C. Stops the sperm.
01:47Or D. Transforms the sperm.
01:49Kills the sperm because it's like pesticide.
01:51I'm an English teacher, so it's the root of the word.
01:54You know you gotta use the word side, pesticide.
01:56All ladies, the answer is C.
01:59Spermicide prevents pregnancy by both blocking the entrance to the cervix and stopping sperm from moving to the eggs.
02:05It should always be used with diaphragms and cervical caps in order for them to work.
02:09True or false?
02:10The birth control ring can fall out.
02:12I think that's true.
02:14If you're getting a lot of action up there, it's just gonna dance its way out.
02:18Great job, Sarah.
02:19The answer is true.
02:20Woohoo!
02:21I got it!
02:22If it slips out, don't freak out.
02:24You can still prevent pregnancy.
02:26Here's what to do.
02:27If the ring has been out of your vagina for less than two days, rinse it in cool water and
02:32put it back in right away.
02:33If you put it back in within 48 hours, you'll still be protected from pregnancy.
02:37True or false?
02:38Your partner will be able to feel the IUD poking them.
02:41False.
02:42The vagina is a big ocean and an IUD is like a little ship, so your partner is not gonna
02:46feel it.
02:47Great job, Jess Lee.
02:49The answer is false.
02:50Booyaka!
02:51Ha!
02:51The IUD is placed inside the uterus at the very top called the fundus.
02:56So it should be out of the way where no partner should ever run into it.
02:59Plastic strings are attached to the end of the IUD, which run through the cervix and outside into the vagina.
03:05The strings are soft enough that they shouldn't bother you or your partner.
03:08True or false?
03:09The hormones in birth control can impact your mood.
03:11True.
03:12When I was on birth control, it was making me cray.
03:15But then I went off birth control and I was still cray.
03:18Great job.
03:19The answer is true.
03:20Woohoo!
03:21I am nailing this competition like I nailed my husband last night.
03:25Hormonal birth control contains synthetic hormones in order to trick your body.
03:28It's already ovulating so it won't release an egg.
03:31As a result, a common side effect of hormonal birth control are mood swings.
03:35These chemical imbalances in your brain can have a strong impact on your everyday life.
03:39So check with your doctor if your symptoms become severe.
03:42How often do you have to get the birth control shot?
03:45A. Every three months.
03:46B. Every three weeks.
03:48C. Every year.
03:50Or D. Every four years.
03:51Every three weeks.
03:53Because pharmaceutical companies are burglars.
03:57The answer is A.
03:58Really?
03:59That has to be wrong.
04:01The Depo-Provera shot is an injection you get once every three months.
04:04It's a safe, convenient, and private birth control method that is very effective if you always get it on time.
04:10How effective are IUDs at preventing pregnancy?
04:13A. 85%
04:14B. 92%
04:16C. 97%
04:18Or D. 99%
04:20IUDs are 99% effective.
04:22They are a lockbox for your vagine.
04:25Yeah!
04:26Right answer.
04:26Yes!
04:27I don't know anything.
04:29IUDs are 99% effective because once inserted there's almost no way you can mess it up.
04:33You can't forget to use it like the pill or ring or use it incorrectly like condoms.
04:38IUDs are a set it and forget it birth control.
04:41True or false?
04:42If you are a smoker, birth control could increase health risks.
04:45True.
04:46Because smoking is terrible for you and it's going to completely mess up your body.
04:50Don't smoke.
04:51That's right, Jess Lee.
04:52The answer is true.
04:53Yes!
04:54In your face.
04:55If you're over 35 and a smoker, you shouldn't use the combination pill or any other kind of birth control
05:01that contains the hormone estrogen to avoid increased risk of stroke or heart attack.
05:06If you are a smoker, progestin only pills are your safest option.
05:09I am a birth control goddess!
05:12I know all of the answers to your sexual needs.
05:16Great job, Sarah.
05:17You really know your stuff.
05:19Thank you for joining us for another episode of Sex Ed Game Show.
05:22And remember to talk to your provider about finding the best form of birth control for you.
