I was looking around the web for stats on birth control methods (since it seems like all the made-up cases we've been working on this quarter have been using cervical cap -- I know it's just to simplify our case analysis so we don't have to take into account exogenous hormones where it's not relevant, but I was still curious how many women are actually using cervical caps) and found The Well-Timed Period -- the extensive archives can provide fascinating reading for days, if not weeks.
Other excellent blogs/communities discussing birth control, contraception and other salient issues of women's health from the user's perspective include the Livejournal Birth Control community and the Livejournal Vagina Pagina community (check the tags on the left for specific subjects).
Contraception Online has a pretty exhaustive discussion of each method, including natural family planning.
As a disclaimer, I don't know the backgrounds of any of the authors linked to above.
Some more:
- American Family Physician discusses newer methods of contraception and compares them all
- The Association of Reproductive Health Professionals have a wealth of information on both male and female reproductive health, and many documents comparing contraceptive methods.
I still haven't found any stats on how many women are using each method. If you find them, let me know!
