The method of preventing pregnancy is termly known as birth control. This this is not for only females the males also have what they can do to also contribute to preventing pregnancy.
These are the methods you can ensure to prevent pregnancy
1. Natural method.
This is one of the safest method, it does not involved any kind of drugs. For the females this is best done by studying your period or menstrual cycle very well because that will let you know the best time to abstain from sex and the best moment you can have sex just to prevent pregnancy. Every females has menstrual cycle. Some people experience their period for 5 days, others too 4 days and for some other people too 6 to 7 days. But there are some cases some people experiences their flow for about 2 weeks close to three weeks due to some other conditions. Let me first pass this advise, this method is best for those who have a regular menstruation cycle, When i say regular menstruation cycle i mean they always experience their period every month. For them the method really works for them since they will be able to read their period correctly. Every female who does not have any problem have at most 7 days for their over flow. For such people after their period ends, the next 3 days is their short free period, When i say free period i mean they can have sex within that period without getting pregnant. After that the next 2 weeks following your period is the period where you would be having your ovulation, That means your system will be laying new eggs. This is the very most important period you need not to have sex because at this moment the chance of getting pregnant is very high because you cervix opens during that time. Please if you don't want any pregnancy try not to have sex within that period. Now after that 2 weeks the rest of the days left are the free long period (meaning you will not get pregnant when you have sex within that moment) till you have your next menstruation.
