Sex Ed 102: Reversible Contraception Methods
Birth Control by definition relates to the use of any practices, methods or devices that are used to prevent pregnancy from occurring.
The main goal of any birth control method is to either prevent fertilization of an egg, or implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus.
When we speak of Reversible Birth Control Methods we are referring to any practice of birth control that protects a woman from pregnancy at any point in her life, while still preserving the option to have children at another time.
In most cases the ability to become pregnant, returns shortly after the reversible method is discontinued. The rate at which fertility returns will vary with each method.
Technically there are 4 methods of Reversible Birth Control; barrier, behavioural, hormonal and emergency.
This page will specifically cover the Barrier and Hormonal methods. If you would like to learn about the others please go back to the previous page and select the corresponding category.
