Levonorgestrel

Hello everyone!

Just last Thursday was our English class Dr. Valenzuela tell us about his research on the levonorgestrel, a pill that is used as emergency contraception, and when they should be used, among other things.

In relation whit the presentation of Dr. Valenzuela, I didn`t like it because Dr. Valenzuela was too slow to speak and very monotonous. When we have English classes (after lunch and traveled on the subway to the faculty is quite tiring). I think that classes should be more interactive and motivating. To be honest I was bored a bit.

Well, as I study midwifery, and my friends ask me many things about methods of contraception, I have informed about different methods of contraception that is why I had knowledge of levonorgestrel, so I did not find difficult to understand the research work done emergency contraceptive. Dr. Valenzuela explained about the functioning of this pill. The levornorgetrel or also known as "morning-after pill" is taken when a woman has had sex without any protection. This pill must be taken the next day after having sex.

The dilemma is that if this pill is abortion or not. From my point of view, pregnancy occurs when the egg is implanted in the uterus, because the majority of abortions occur for a non-implantation of the egg in the uterus. Levonorgestrel does not allow the implantation of the egg in the uterus, which is why from my point of view it is not abortive.

Well, this was my assessment as to the presentation of Dr. Valenzuela.

See you next class.

And have a nice September 18

Well, this is a very beautiful country that I would like to visit, and this country is Spain. I have an uncle who traveled to that country for work and he has shown me a lot of pictures of this country and I loved those pictures and also definitely it is amazing.

Also, Spain has a metropolitan culture that influenced many other parts and countries of the world like Southamerica. For example, Chile was colonized by Spain, so we conserve many customs and traditions of this country, like the language but without the accent of the Spanish.

Actually Spain is a developed country, so there are many opportunities, especially in the academic area. If I could travel to Spain, I would like to know all the wonderful places in that country and I would to do a post degree in health because in that country have the necessary technology and resources in this area, so I could learn and come back to Chile and show my knowledge and teach my colleagues. However, it is a very touristic place too, so I would like to spend my vacations there. Also, Spain is located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula, so I could travel to other countries that surround Spain like Italy, France, England, etc.

In this moment I`m only a student, but when I start working, I swear that I will join money and became this idea into something real and exciting experience.

Well, I see you in the class.

Bye!
