Reversible Method

1. Copper T intrauterine device (IUD)

It is occasionally described as a nonhormonal IUD alternative. A T-shaped plastic frame
known as the ParaGard is placed inside the uterus. The contraption's copper wire coiling
causes an inflammatory reaction that is harmful to sperm and eggs (ova), preventing
conception.

2. Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG IUD)

The levonorgestrel intrauterine system functions by thickening the mucus at the cervix
(entry to the uterus) to prevent sperm from entering, thinning the uterine lining to prevent
pregnancy from occurring, and stopping sperm from migrating and surviving in the uterus.

3. Implant-
The contraceptive implant (Nexplanon) is a small flexible plastic rod that's placed under
the skin in your upper arm by a doctor or nurse. It releases the hormone progestogen into your
bloodstream to prevent pregnancy and lasts for 3 years.

4. Injection or "shot"-
Depo-Provera, a contraceptive injectable that contains the hormone progestin, is sold
under the well-known brand name Depo-Provera. Every three months, an injection of Depo-
Provera is administered. Depo-Provera normally prevents ovulation, preventing the release of
an egg from your ovaries.

5. Combined oral contraceptives-

Oral contraceptives that combine estrogen and a progestin are collectively referred to as
combination birth control pills or "the pill." Combination birth control pills prevent the release of
eggs from your ovaries. To prevent sperm from combining with the egg, they also alter the
cervical mucus and the endometrium, the lining of the uterus.
6. Progestin only pill-
By making the cervix's mucus thicker, the progestogen-only pill (POP) traditionally used
to prevent pregnancy inhibits sperm from reaching an egg. Desogestrel is a progestogen-only
medication that can also prevent ovulation. To be effective, the progestogen-only pill must be
taken each day.

7. Patch-
The patch contains the hormones estrogen and progestin, which are identical to the
hormones our bodies naturally produce and are present in most birth control pills. The patch's
hormones prevent ovulation. Pregnancy cannot occur if there is no ovulation since there is no
egg present for the sperm to fertilize.

8. Hormonal vaginal contraceptive ring-

The flexible birth control ring fits within the vagina and has a circular shape. It slowly
distributes hormones into the bloodstream through the vaginal membrane. These hormones aid
in conception prevention.
9.Diaphragm or cervical cap-
An effective barrier method of contraception is a diaphragm or cap. It fits inside your
vagina and blocks the cervix from being penetrated by sperm (the entrance of your womb). It
must be used along with a gel that destroys sperm (spermicide).

10. Sponge-
The sponge works in two ways to prevent pregnancy: It presses tightly against your
cervix, restricting the opening to your uterus so that sperm cannot reach your egg. The sponge
also contains Spermicide, which slows down sperm so it can't reach your egg, is also present in
the sponge. Using the sponge with or without condoms is one option.

11. Male condom-

You put a condom on your penis during sex to stop sperm and semen from getting into
your partner's body when you ejaculate (come). STIs can live in semen. Sperm is also included
in it. There is a possibility that sperm entering a vagina will encounter an egg and result in
pregnancy.
12. Female condom-
Female condoms are an intravaginal barrier technique of birth control. They block the
sperm from contacting the egg, preventing conception. You may insert a female condom into
the vagina before having intercourse, but make sure the penis doesn't make touch with the
vagina first.

14. Spermicides-
Spermicides hinder sperm's ability to swim to an egg by blocking the cervix (the opening
to the uterus) and slowing them down. The spermicide needs to be positioned near the cervix
deep within the vagina for it to be effective. Using an applicator, creams, gels, and foams are
squirted into the vagina.

15. Fertility awareness-based methods-

Identification of the fertile days of the menstrual cycle is a component of fertility
awareness-based (FAB) techniques of family planning. This can be done by watching fertility
markers such cervical secretions and basal body temperature or by tracking cycle days.
