 Contraception

What is contraception : things people do or ways people stop pregnancy from happening. Some things prevent ovulation (releasing of an egg), fertilization (meeting of egg and sperm), or the implantation of a pre-embryo in the uterus. Some ways are permanent and others let a woman get pregnant when she stops using them. Birth control pills, spermicide, diaphragms, sterilization and latex condoms are some examples. Withdrawing and douching do not work. Not all contraception stops people from getting HIV and other STDs. Only latex condoms stop pregnancy and HIV from happening. Abstinence is the only 100 percent method for preventing both HIV infection and pregnancy.
