Birth control means you ensure that pregnancy only happens if and when you want it to. Birth control can mean abstinence. Abstinence is deciding not to do something, and abstaining from having sexual intercourse will ensure that pregnancy does not occur. Birth control can also mean using a method of contraception to ensure that pregnancy does not occur when you do have sexual intercourse.

7. Natural Methods of Contraception
Withdrawal Method – The withdrawal of the penis from the vagina before the man has ejaculated. This is not very reliable. Rhythm Method – When a couple abstain from sexual intercourse on the days when she is most fertile. This is not very reliable

8. Barrier Methods of Contraception
Male Condom - The male condom is the only method of contraception men can use. It's really just a rubber tube. It's closed at one end like the finger of a glove so that when a man puts it over his penis it stops the sperm going inside a woman’s body.
Female Condom - The female condom is a fairly new barrier method. It is not as widely available as the male condom and it is more expensive. It is however very useful when the man either will not, or cannot use a male condom.

9. Barrier Methods
Diaphragms and caps fit inside the vagina and cover the cervix (entrance to the womb).
They need to be used with spermicidal cream to create a barrier and stop sperm meeting an egg.

10. IUD Barrier Methods ‘The IUD’ – stands for ‘intra-uterine device.’
Most IUDs are now T-shaped. They’re made of plastic and copper, sometimes with a little silver inside.
They prevent your partner’s sperms from getting through your womb and into your tubes.
They affect your womb lining – making it less likely to ‘accept’ an egg.

11. Hormonal Methods of Contraception
Contraceptive Pill – It is a pill which the woman takes daily. It contains hormones which prevent pregnancy.
Contraceptive Patch - Is a thin, beige, sticky patch measuring 5cm x 5cm. It contains the same hormones as the combined pill: oestrogen and progesterone.

12. Hormonal Contraception
Contraceptive Implant - The contraceptive implant is a small, flexible tube that's inserted under the skin in the upper arm. It slowly releases a hormone called progesterone and works for three years.
Contraceptive Injection - The contraceptive injection contains a hormone called progesterone and is a long- term method of contraception. It's injected into a muscle and the hormone is released very slowly into the body.
