Female contraceptives are on a whole other level, meaning that these are more
varied and more complicated. This is due to females’ high sensitivity and
overall menstruation complications. When it comes to choosing one though
there are hundreds of methods and all vary with symptoms and results. But in
the end every female is different and SHOULD always reach for professional
medical guidance before trying any one of the following methods. Of the most
popular methods the most popular list would include; The Pill, Hormonal
Therapy, Ovulation Awareness, and female sterilization. With the Pill being
the most effective at 0.01% chance of pregnancy it is easily the safest of them
all and appropriate for any circumstance as long as it was doctor approved.
Other Hormonal methods are still being developed and this all takes place in
the endocrine system affecting ovulation and many other substances, and even
offer many other bonuses like over stop of menstruation. Ovulation Awareness
is next and is reasonably easy and cheap to do. I consist of knowing when the
body will ovulate and menstruate as well as when to act in sexual intercourse.
Finally there is female Sterilization, which eliminates the overall ability for a
female to bare a child. It consists in the cutting of the uterus tubes. BUT keep
in mind that none of the above will protect against STD’s. The reason is
because for a female the only way to prevent an STD is for the male to use a
condom.

Finally it is extremely critical to NEVER decide on doing anything alone, you
will never be alone on these situations and the BEST thing you can do is to
contact a doctor and carefully talk about what is best for you. Remember that
nobody’s body is alike and making decisions by yourself will get you hurt. In
conclusion to everything listed above it is important to also define your needs,
because a contraceptive is very different than when you only want to prevent
an STD. Always remember to take care and never follow someone’s advice if
he is not a professional.
