Go on the pill or get a shot each month. Always use condoms even if you are using your own birth control method. Respect yourself enough to protect yourself. You are worth it.

Methods
See also: Comparison of birth control methods

[edit] Physical methods

[edit] Barrier methods
Three colored condomsBarrier methods place a physical impediment to the movement of sperm into the female reproductive tract.

The most popular barrier method is the male condom, a latex or polyurethane sheath placed over the penis. The condom is also available in a female version, which is made of polyurethane. The female condom has a flexible ring at each end—one secures behind the pubic bone to hold the condom in place, while the other ring stays outside the vagina.

Cervical barriers are devices that are contained completely within the vagina. The cervical cap is the smallest cervical barrier. It stays in place by suction to the cervix or to the vaginal walls. The Lea's shield is a larger cervical barrier, also held in place by suction. The diaphragm fits into place behind the woman's pubic bone and has a firm but flexible ring, which helps it press against the vaginal walls. The contraceptive sponge has a depression to hold it in place over the cervix.


[edit] Hormonal methods
Ortho Tri-cyclen, a brand of oral contraceptive, in a dial dispenser.There are variety of delivery methods for hormonal contraception.

Combinations of synthetic estrogen and progestins (synthetic forms of progesterone) are commonly used. These include the combined oral contraceptive pill ("The Pill"), the Patch, and the contraceptive vaginal ring ("NuvaRing"). Not currently available for sale is Lunelle, a monthly injection.

Other methods contain only progesterone, or a progestin. These include the progesterone only pill (the POP or 'minipill'), and Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) given as an intramuscular injection every three months, and Noristerat (norethisterone acetate), which is given as an intramuscular injection every 8 weeks. The progesterone-only pill must be taken at more precisely remembered times each day than combined pills. A contraceptive implant called Norplant was removed from the market in 2002, though a newer implant called Implanon was approved for sale on July 17, 2006. The various progesterone-only methods may cause irregular bleeding for several months.


[edit] Centchroman
Centchroman is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator, or SERM. It causes ovulation to occur asynchronously with the formation of the uterine lining, preventing implantation of a zygote. It has been widely available as a birth control method in India since the early 90s, marketed under the trade names Centron® and Saheli®. It is not legally available anywhere outside of India, and it is not in the process of becoming available in the United States.[citation needed]


[edit] Intrauterine methods
These are devices that are placed in the uterus. They are usually shaped like a "T"—the arms of the T hold the device in place inside the uterus. In the United States, all devices which are placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy are referred to as IUDs. In the UK, a distinction is made between the IUDs and IUS. This is probably because there are seven different kinds of IUDs available in the UK, compared to two in the US.

Intrauterine Devices ("IUDs") contain copper (which has a spermicidal effect).

IntraUterine Systems ("IUS") release progesterone or a progestin.


[edit] Emergency contraception
Most combined pills and POPs may be taken in high doses to prevent pregnancy after a birth control failure (such as a condom breaking) or after unprotected intercourse. Hormonal emergency contraception is also known as the "morning after pill," although it is licensed for use up to three days after intercourse.

Copper intrauterine devices may also be used as emergency contraception. For this use, they must be inserted within five days of the birth control failure or unprotected intercourse.


[edit] Induced abortion
Abortion can be done with surgical methods, usually suction-aspiration abortion (in the first trimester) or dilation and evacuation (in the second trimester). Chemical abortion uses drugs to end a pregnancy and is approved for pregnancies of less than 7 weeks gestation. Later-term abortions may use prostaglandins to induce premature delivery. An injection to stop the fetal heart may be used prior to induction.

Some herbs are believed to cause abortion (abortifacients). No peer-reviewed research has been done on these substances.

The use of abortion as birth control is a controversial issue, subject to ethical debate.


[edit] Sterilization
Surgical sterilization is available in the form of tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men.

A non-surgical sterilization procedure, Essure, is also available for women.


[edit] Behavioral methods

[edit] Fertility awareness methods
Fertility awareness methods involve a woman's observation and charting of one or more of her body's primary fertility signs, to determine the fertile and infertile phases of her cycle. Unprotected sex is restricted to the least fertile period. During the most fertile period, barrier methods may be availed, or she may abstain from intercourse. Methods that a woman may use to determine her fertility include monitoring of basal body temperature, of cervical mucus (Billings ovulation method, Creighton Model), and of other bodily cues.

The term natural family planning is sometimes used to refer to any use of fertility awareness methods, however, this term specifically refers to a set of birth control methods approved by the Roman Catholic Church. It is an umbrella term which refers to those methods which comply with the Catholic decree against birth control medications and devices, including fertility awareness methods, statistical methods, and LAM. The practice of natural family planning involves behavior restrictions defined by Catholic beliefs; one example is maintaining abstinence from all orgasmic acts outside of marital intercourse. These restrictions are not specific to the use of fertility awareness methods.


[edit] Statistical methods
Statistical methods such as the Rhythm Method and Standard Days Method are dissimilar from observational fertility awareness methods, in that they do not involve the observation or recording of bodily cues of fertility. Instead, statistical methods estimate the likelihood of fertility based on the length of past menstrual cycles. The Rhythm Method is much less accurate than fertility awareness methods, and is considered by fertility awareness teachers to have been obsolete for at least twenty years.


[edit] Coitus interruptus
Coitus interruptus (literally "interrupted sex"), also known as the withdrawal method, is the practice of ending sexual intercourse ("pulling out") before ejaculation. The main risk of coitus interruptus is that the man may not make the maneuver in time. Although concern has been raised about the risk of pregnancy from sperm in pre-ejaculate, several small studies[1][2] have failed to find any viable sperm in the fluid.


[edit] Avoiding vaginal intercourse
The risk of pregnancy from non-vaginal sex is low, such as outercourse (sex without penetration), anal sex, or oral sex. With this method, great discipline is required from both partners to prevent the progression to intercourse. This method may be considered unreliable, due to the level of discipline required while in a passionate state. It is suggested that the potential to progress to intercourse be addressed with physical precautions.[citation needed]


[edit] Abstinence
Sexual abstinence (also known as celibacy), is the practice of avoiding all sexual activity. It is highly effective if practiced consistently. As with avoiding intercourse, however, it may be unreliable due to the level of discipline required.


[edit] Lactational
Most breastfeeding women have a period of infertility after the birth of their child. The Lactational Amenorrhea Method, or LAM, gives guidelines for determining the length of a woman's period of breastfeeding infertility.


[edit] Methods in development

[edit] Experimental contraceptives for males
Main article: Male contraceptive
Research is being done into a variety of substances that have potential as male oral contraceptives, or implants or injections that may be used as male hormonal contraceptives.

RISUG (Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance), is an injection into the vas deferens that coats the walls of the vas with a spermicidal substance. This method can be reversed by washing out the vas deferens with a second injection.

Vas-occlusive contraception would be analogous to intrauterine contraception in women.

Heat-based contraception involves heating the testicles to a high temperature for a short period of time.
