family planning/spacing of births,
effective
contraception
provides
both health and social benefits to
mothers and their children
Using no method of contraception carries a higher
cumulative risk of death than using any contraceptive
method except that of OCs by older women who smoke.
The mortality risks associated with using no
contraception and with using OCs are higher in older
women than in younger women.
EFFECTIVE METHOD OF CONTRACEPTIVE
ABSTINENCE The most effective way to prevent pregnancy
is abstinence . However, within the first year
of committing to abstinence, many couples
become pregnant because they have sex
anyway but don’t use protection. So it’s a good
idea even for people who don’t plan to have
sex to be informed about birth control.
FAMS Fertility awareness methods (FAMs) are ways
to track your ovulation so you can prevent
pregnancy. FAMs are also called “natural
family planning” and “the rhythm method.
STERILIZATION Want to make sure pregnancy is not in your
future? Sterilization (sometimes called female
sterilization, tubal ligation, or “getting your
tubes tied”) is a safe and effective surgical
procedure
that
permanently
prevents
pregnancy.
