Female condom: Pouch inserted into the
vagina.
Silicone cup covered with spermicide cream
or jelly inserted into the vagina.

shortly before intercourse.

B. Methods that prevent viable sperm and oocytes
from joining
Method
Sterilization
Description
Vasectomy (males): The vas deferens is blocked to keep
sperm out of seminal fluid.
Tubal ligation (females): The fallopian tubes are blocked
to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus.
Fertility Awareness-Based Methods

(FAMs)
Tracking the womans fertility cycle and refraining from

vaginal intercourse or using another contraceptive
method around the time of ovulation. (Rhythm Method)
Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)
Copper IUD: Small, T-shaped plastic device inserted

into the uterus. Affects the way sperm move to prevent
them from joining with an egg.
Hormonal IUD: see next section.
Lactational amenorrhea method

(LAM)
Exclusively breastfeeding an infant less than six months

mothers.

C. Hormonal methods of contraception
Method
Description
Oral contraceptives
Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) or progestin-only pills are

taken orally once a day.
Hormonal IUD
A small, T-shaped plastic device that releases progestin is inserted

into the uterus.
Injection
Progestin is injected into the arm and each injection typically

prevents pregnancy for three months.
Implant
A thin, flexible plastic rod that releases progestin is inserted under

the skin of the upper arm and can prevent pregnancy for up to three
years.
Vaginal ring
A small ring that contains estrogen and progestin is inserted in the

vagina once a month for three weeks.
Dermal patch

Effectiveness of method
Contraceptive choice is in part dependent on the
effectiveness of the contraceptive method in
preventing unplanned pregnancy, which, in turn, is
dependent for some methods not only on the
protection afforded by the method itself, but also on
how consistently and correctly it is used
Methods that depend on consistent and correct use
by clients have a wide range of effectiveness.
Most men and women tend to be more effective
users as they become more experienced with a
method.
