There are various contraceptive methods out there and because we don’t know, some of us use ineffective methods. Some of the following methods are expensive but they are 100% reliable.
1. Hormonal contraceptive methods
This includes pills, injectables, and implants. As long as you don’t miss, pills are foolproof. Injectables are hormones that are injected into the arm or buttocks every month or so and are effective if you go for another shot on time. Implants are inserted under the skin and can last for up to 3-5 years, depending on the type you get.
2. Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs)
These are inserted into the uterus and prevent the sperm from reaching the egg. They can last for 5-12 years. This is best for those who don’t wish to have kids anymore.
3. Emergency contraceptive pills (ECP)
They are also called ‘morning after’ pills. They shouldn’t be used as regular contraceptives but only when you have unprotected sex. The sooner you use them after the escapade, the better.4. Barrier method
This is where the male/female condom fall. It can also protect against STIs, but wearing it improperly opens you to risk.5. Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM)
Six months after birth, you are medically unable to conceive if she’s observing exclusive breastfeeding. During this period you may not need other methods.6. Withdrawal
The man removes his penis so as to ejaculate outside the vagina. This is very risky as things may not always go as planned.7. Sterilization
Here, simple surgical procedures like a vasectomy for men or blocking the fallopian tubes in women may be used as a life-long contraceptive option only if the couple agrees not to have any more kids.8. Fertility awareness methods
This entails a strict understanding of the woman’s cycle. In her ovulation days, the couple may have sex with a condom or abstain. Mistakes may happen with this method though.
