Birth Control - An Overview

It's not like it use to be. Today there are tons of options for birth control and the only tough thing for a woman when thinking about birth control is which type of contraceptive to choose?

To help make the decision process a little easier, we at wdxcyber have created a birth control option section that deals with the many variety of birth control methods available to you for your use. However, you should be aware that not all methods of birth control prevent STDs, and if you are not in a trusting, monogamous relationship, then this is something you may want to keep in mind when choosing your form of birth control. Also, not every method of birth control is equally effective in preventing pregnancy. Starting reading now to find the best method for you.

Hormone Methods

Any method of birth control that regulates hormones in the female body to prevent ovulation, pregnancy, etc... is considered a hormone method of pregnancy. The birth control pill is one form of a hormone method. For more information on the pill check out our section on birth control pills. Other popular hormone birth control methods are depo provera and implanon. Find out more about them now.

Barrier Methods

Barrier methods of birth control are any type of birth control that prevent the sperm from reaching the egg. Condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, female condoms, spermicidal foams, sponges, and gels are all forms of barrier methods. Condoms are best for preventing STDs. Find out more. Also check out our article on diaphragm insertion.

IUD

IUDs are a newer form of birth control that have been found to have a less than 1% failure rate and that don't need to be taken daily or every time you have sex. However, they do not prevent the spread of STDs. For more information check out our section on Mirena, a popular form of IUD, and IUDs.

Rhythm Method And Other Natural Methods

The rhythm method is one of the oldest forms of birth control, but also one of the least effective. Find out if this natural method is right for you. Other natural methods of birth control are charting, the standard days method, withdrawal and breastfeeding (LAM). Find out more.

Sterilization

Check out our articles on tubal ligation and on tubal ligation reversal, if you should happen to change your mind. Also find out about vasectomy and the less permanent method of sterilization: adiana sterilization.

Additional Information

In addition, get information about the morning after pill (MAP) in case your birth control method fails to protect you and check out our article index for a full overview of birth control options.
