The Family Planning Association (FPA) in the UK, claim that up to 90% of sexually active women will become pregnant in 12 months if they do not use contraception.

Women risks becoming pregnant every time they have sex without contraception, including the first time they ever have sex.

There are many types of contraception available to help you avoid unwanted pregnancy, However, the only completely reliable method for avoiding pregnancy is abstaining from sex. Each form of birth control has advantages and disadvantages.

Below we have different method which can help you to avoid unwanted pregnancy:

1.Male Condoms

Male and female condoms are the only types of contraception that protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

When used correctly, male condoms are more than 80 percent effective against pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

2. Female Condoms

Female condoms are also available without a prescription. They can be used instead of a male condom, but should never be used with one.

According to the CDC, female condoms are about 79 percent effective for contraception.

3. Diaphragm

A diaphragm is a barrier method of contraception that a person places inside the vagina. It is important to apply spermicide to the diaphragm before each use.

When used with spermicide, the CDC estimate that the diaphragm is close to 90 percent effective.

A person must insert the diaphragm a few hours before intercourse, leave it in place for 6 hours after sex, and remove it after 24 hours. Diaphragms do not protect against STIs.

4. Cervical cap

A cervical cap is a soft silicone cup that is placed deep inside the vagina. It covers the cervix to stop sperm from reaching an egg.

This effectiveness of the cervical cap varies according to sources, but Planned Parenthood estimate that its effectiveness ranges from about 70 to 85 percent. It does not protect against STIs.

Cervical caps are available in drugstores and online.

5. Sponge

The contraceptive sponge is a method of birth control that a person can buy without a prescription. Made of polyurethane foam and containing spermicide, the sponge is placed deep inside the vagina to block entry to the uterus.

Used alone, the sponge is 76 to 88 percent effective, but using it with a condom further reduces the risk of pregnancy and STIs.

6. Spermicide

Spermicide is a chemical that inactivates sperm. It is available to buy without a prescription and is used with forms of barrier contraception, such as condoms, but not with the sponge.

If used alone, spermicide should be inserted close to the cervix at least 10 minutes before sex. It remains effective for 60 minutes and is approximately 71 percent effective.

Spermicide gels can be found at drugstores . Talk to a doctor about the most effective ways to use spermicide as a contraceptive.
