If you do not want to get pregnant, do not have sex. If you do have sex, there are many birth control options to choose from. No one product is best for everyone. This guide lists all FDA-approved products for birth control. Talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about the best method for you. Some things to think about:
Your health.
• How often you have sex.
• How many sexual partners you have. • If you want to have children in the future.
• If you will need a prescription or if you can buy the method over-the-counter.
• The number of pregnancies expected per 100 women who use a method for one year.
For comparison, about 85 out of 100 sexually active women who do not use any birth control can expect to become pregnant in a year.
