techniques to prevent pregnancy as a consequence
of sexual intercourse.

4. Contraceptive Pill
The contraceptive Pill or Birth Control,
prevents pregnancy through several
mechanisms, mainly by stopping
ovulation.
Most of he Pills contain estrogen and
progestin. These synthetic hormones
stabilize a woman's natural hormone
levels.
Due to the stable level of estrogen the
pituitary gland does not release the
other hormones necessary for the
ovaries to release mature eggs.

5. Male/Female Sterilization
Vasectomy
Permanent method of birth control which prevents the
release of sperm from ejaculation
Tubal Ligation
“Having your tubes tied”
Woman’s fallopian tubes are surgically blocked, tied, or
cut

6. Male Birth Control Pill?
With Vasectomies and Condoms still being the only two forms
of birth control for males, scientists have been working to create
Contraceptive pill similar to the one females use.
"Even if just 5-10% of men used this (an oral contraceptive), it
would limit population growth," says Ilpo Huhtaniemi, emeritus
professor of Reproductive Endocrinology at Imperial College
London.
Although in recent years there has been major steps taken
towards releasing a mass marketed birth control pill. Writer
From “Rewire” Martha Kempner says “It seems we are still quite
far…”
