Fertility awareness is also called natural family planning. It works by preventing fertilization of the egg on the woman’s fertile days to avoid getting pregnant. Sex is avoided on these days or a barrier form of birth control is used.
A male vasectomy is a surgery that blocks sperm from mixing with semen and leaving the body during sex. This prevents pregnancy.
Every month, a woman’s body releases an egg. That egg waits in her fallopian tube to be fertilized by a male sperm. When a woman has her “tubes tied” it stops an egg from entering the fallopian tube. This means fertilization by a sperm and pregnancy is no longer possible.
Birth control that stops fertilization from happening includes barrier methods such as the sponge, diaphragm, cervical caps and shields, and male and female condoms. With these, the egg and sperm ideally never meet, and fertilization never occurs so there can be no pregnancy.
Implants and intrauterine devices* are commonly called IUDs. An IUD is a small device that is placed into the uterus by a medical professional to prevent pregnancy. There are two types of IUDs: hormonal and non-hormonal. Hormonal IUDs work by releasing small amounts of hormones into a woman’s body.
