There are many kinds of birth control methods. They include:
- barrier methods (e.g., condoms)
- hormonal methods (e.g., pill, patch, hormonal IUD, injection, implant, ring)
- non-hormonal methods (e.g., copper IUD, fertility awareness, withdrawal or “pulling out”, abstinence (no sexual contact))
Talk to your health care provider or go to a sexual and reproductive health clinic to find out what birth control methods will work best for you.
