Hello
f a woman is sexually active and she is fertile and physically able to become pregnant, she needs to ask herself, "Do I want to become pregnant now?" If her answer is "No," she must use some method of birth control (contraception).

Terminology used to describe birth control methods include contraception, pregnancy prevention, fertility control, and family planning. But no matter what the process is called, sexually active people can choose from a plethora of methods to reduce the possibility of their becoming pregnant. Nevertheless, no method of birth control available today offers perfect protection against sexually transmitted infections (sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs), except abstinence.

In simple terms, all methods of birth control are based on either preventing a man's sperm from reaching and entering a woman's egg (fertilization) or preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the woman's uterus (her womb) and starting to grow. New methods of birth control are being developed and tested all the time. And what is appropriate for a couple at one point may change with time and circumstances.

Very good post, I think majority of women get on birth control before even testing to see if they're fertile or physically able to get pregnant.

Default Which is the best birth control measure?

To control unwanted pregnancy there are various artificial birth control measures such as the following:
Barrier method: this method consists of diaphragm, condoms and cervical caps which bars the sperm from entering the uterus. This method must be used each time you have sex to have precaution against unwanted pregnancy.

Pills: Another commonly used birth control measure is the intake of pills. These pills help to prevent the release of egg from the ovaries. You need to take it every day but there are some common side effects faced due to intake of birth control pills. The side effects include nausea, headaches, breast swelling, water retention, weight gain and depression.

Condoms: This is the most common and reasonable birth control measure that people can opt for. Widely available, condoms can be your best choice while having sex. Indulge in safe sex and have a enjoying time.

Patch: This is a hormonal birth control way that needs to be applied to 4 places- buttocks, abdomen, upper torso and outer arms. Put the patch on the areas for one day each for 3 consecutive weeks. During the 4th week, you will have the normal menstrual period. This method helps birth control as patches have estrogen and progestin in it.

the Depo shot is the best, i was on it back in the day and now after planning for a baby im really going to get back on it. The pills made me soo sick it was just crazy, but then again everyones system is different.

Depo shot is the best in my opinion. you get it every 3 months and your period goes away soo what more could you ask for..... I would do some reaserch on the Depo shot before getting it, but your ob/gyn should test you to make sure your a good candidate for it anyways.

and those other birth control that you put inside you, my friend has the one that looks like a T and she says her man can feel it inside of her sooo i know that doesnt sound good, and it makes her bleed sooo i would recoment the depo provera shot

Default Birth Control Methods

Birth Control Methods vary according to purpose, design, material and effectiveness. In order to choose among them, several factors must be considered such as the woman’s health, lifestyle, comfort level, menstrual cycle and flow, frequency of sexual activity, and number of sexual partners.

The following are the most commonly used methods:

Natural Methods

* Abstinence – not having sexual contact at all times

* Calendar Method – not having sex on days when a woman is fertile, approximately five days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and one or more days after ovulation

* Withdrawal Method – man pulls out his penis from the vagina right before he ejaculates, thus preventing sperms from entry into the uterus

Chemical Methods

* Oral Contraceptives – pills taken orally on a daily basis which prevents the flow of eggs from the ovaries

* Mini Pill – smaller than the regular pill, it thickens the cervical mucus thus preventing the contact between the sperms and the egg.

* Depo Preva – injections of hormones into the body every three months, acts like the pill

* The Patch – skin patch worn on abdomen, buttocks or upper body that releases hormones that work like the pill

* Hormonal Vaginal Contraceptive Ring – a ring inserted into the vagina which releases hormones that work like the pill

* Spermicides – suppository, film, cream, foam, gel, or tablet inserted into the vagina that kills the sperms during sexual intercourse, usually used with other barrier methods

Mechanical Methods

* Male Condom – rubber designed to fit and be worn on the penis which will contain the semen during sexual intercourse, thus preventing it from reaching the egg

* Female Condom – made of polyutherane and lubricant, it is inserted into the vagina which blocks sperms from entry into the uterus

* Intrauterine Device (IUD) – a T-shaped device placed inside the uterus (by a doctor) which blocks the sperms from entry into the fallopian tubes

* Intrauterine System (IUS) – a device similarly designed and administered as the IUD which releases hormones that thicken the cervical mucus thus blocking sperms from entry into the uterus

* Diaphragm, Cervical Cap, and Shield – latex or silicon cap used with spermicides which blocks the entry of sperms into the cervix

* Sponge – a soft, disk-shaped device that a woman wets and inserts into the vagina, and thus covering the cervix and blocking the sperms

Surgical Methods

* Tubal Ligation – a permanent birth control method surgically performed on women by ‘tying’ the fallopian tubes and thus stopping eggs from going down the uterus

* Vasectomy – a permanent birth control methods surgically performed on men which has the effect of keeping sperms from going down the penis

In choosing and using birth control methods, it is important to keep in mind the following facts:

* The effectiveness of any method relies on how properly and correctly it was administered.
* More than one method can be used, and the chosen methods can be replaced according to the varying circumstances that affect the woman’s decision.
* There is no one ‘best’ method that goes for all women.
* Abstinence is the only 100% effective birth control method.
* It is best to consult the doctor when choosing a method.
* Birth control methods aren’t necessarily protection from STDs.

From what i have learnt, it is just improving literacy rates for males and females, mostly in LEDC's. By making them aware of the dangers of having children eg HIV, people will eventually control it themselves out of fear of what could happen.
