Contraception means prevention of pregnancy.
The fertilised ovum then moves down the Fallopian tube to the uterus where it implants and grows. If you wish to prevent this happening a reliable method of contraception should be used every time you have sex. There are a number of methods of contraception, but not all methods are suitable for every couple. Using a method you are happy with means you will be able to relax and enjoy sex more, without the worry of an unplanned pregnancy. When choosing a method of contraception you may wish to consider - effectiveness, whether you find the method easy to use, side effects, cost and availability.
