What should you do to not get pregnant?

Answer 1

The simple answer is not to have sex. Assuming that is not an attractive option, then the solution is contraception (a long word which means a way of stopping you getting pregnant). Each method of contraception, the pill, condoms, spermicides, have benefits and problems. For example, the pill is very effective but there are long term health concerns; the condom is not 100% reliable. The pill does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Withdrawal relies the assumption that no sperm will come out before orgasm (not necessarily true) and that the woman is aware of what point in her monthly cycle she is at, knowing that there are times you are less likely to get pregnant (but sperm can live for some time inside the body). There are ways of getting sexual enjoyment without having sex, manual stimulation for example, but care is required: if there is semen around it is possible to accidentally get it inside the vagina while it is still active, so care needs to be taken even if not having penetrative sex.

Answer 2

You can increase your chance of pregnancy, by having unprotected intercourse during your most fertile time. You can determine your fertile time, by performing a ovulation test 14 + days after your period ended.

Answer 3

There are many methods of contraception which can help reduce the risk of getting pregnant during intercourse. Some popular methods include:

-Male condoms: which will reduce pregnancy risk and provide protection from STIs

-Oral contraceptive pills: commonly referred to as "the pill," are hormones that are taken orally

-Intra-uterine devices: Inserted into the uterus and provides protection for 5-10 years

-Vaginal rings: Inserted into the vagina each month

-Hormone patches or shots: alternative method than pills to get hormones

-Diaphram: Provides protection when inserted into the vagina before intercourse.

If there was an accident during intercourse and a Birth Control method failed, there are options for emergency contraception. The most popular form of emergency contraception is the "morning-after pill" which should be taken within 72 hours of intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.

Answer 4

The best chance of conception is during your ovulation period. Purchase an ovulation predictor kit (next to the home pregnancy tests) for more help finding out when you ovulate. Conception occurs 5-7 days after intercourse and a woman's most fertile period is on average about 5 days before the day she ovulates which is about 14 days after her period. You need to make sure you are not stressed because that can make it more difficult. Really the only other things I know is to lay down for about 1/2 and hour after your partner ejaculates to ensure that the sperm can swim easier to find your egg to fertilize. As boring as it may be, missionary position is one of the best for trying to conceive. I have heard that a mans sperm count is highest in the mornings and the afternoons. Decrease your dairy intake as well. Here are some websites that might have some more information that I do not know. Good luck!!!
