![]() ![]() To avoid getting pregnant, you do not have sex on or around the days you are fertile, or you use a barrier method of birth control. These methods focus on knowing which days of the month you are able to get pregnant (fertile), often based on basal body temperature and cervical mucus. An IUD is one of the most effective birth control types available, and nearly all women with them in place are pleased with them. You put these products in the vagina right before sex. Vaginal pH regulator gel (Phexxi) stops sperm from moving, so they can't get to an egg to fertilize it. Spermicide is a type of contraceptive that kills sperm or stops it from moving. These are nonhormonal options for birth control. ![]() Examples include tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men. This is a permanent method of birth control. These are considered long-acting methods because they last for three to 10 years after insertion - depending on the device - or until you decide to have the device removed. An IUD is a small T-shaped contraceptive device which is inserted into your uterus, usually in a day-surgery under sedation. Examples include the copper IUD (ParaGard), the hormonal IUD (Mirena, Skyla, Kyleena, others) and the contraceptive implant (Nexplanon). These are considered short-acting methods because you have to remember to use them on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Examples include birth control pills, as well as the vaginal ring (NuvaRing), skin patch (Xulane) and contraceptive injection (Depo-Provera). Examples include male and female condoms, as well as the diaphragm, cervical cap and contraceptive sponge.
