Finding out that you are pregnant is excellent news when it is something that you planned. Birth control plays a crucial role in your ability to avoid pregnancy until you are ready to have a child. The CDC estimates that among women ages 15 to 44, about eight percent are using reversible contraception devices and about 15.9 percent are using pills. Those who prefer an alternative approach to family planning might consider natural birth control options vs more popular methods of birth control. Learning about some of the most common natural methods helps you to make the right decision.
1. Withdrawal Method
The withdrawal method involves removing the penis from the vagina before the man ejaculates during intercourse. If you are solely using this method for natural birth control, the risk of getting pregnant is about 22 out of 100. It is important that withdrawal happens in time because even one second too late puts you at risk for pregnancy. Before using this method, you and your partner should discuss how to determine when to withdrawal, so that it is as effective as possible.
