So, in the modern era each couple should take the responsibility and look very closely at their family planning!
One or both members of a couple should use contraception to avoid pregnancy temporarily or sterilization to prevent pregnancy permanently. Induced abortion (elective termination of pregnancy) can be used to correct failures of contraception. The couple's decision to begin, prevent, or interrupt an unwanted pregnancy may be influenced by professional counseling, prenatal diagnosis or genetic counseling.
The contraception methods most commonly used in the USA and Western Europe are:
Barrier contraception methods
o Diaphragms and Cervical Cap
o Condoms
o Intrauterine devices (IUD)
Chemical and hormonal contraceptives
o Oral steroid contraceptive pills
o Subdermal Contraception Implants
o Spermicidal contraception (sperm-killing contraception agents)
Natural contraception methods
o Withdrawal (coitus interruptus)
o Periodic abstinence
Surgical Contraception
o Female surgical sterilization
o Male surgical sterilization

o Age
o Level of education
o Degree of motivation
o Professional follow-up
All of them are inversely related to the contraception failure rates.
In general, contraception methods used at the time of coitus (eg, diaphragm, condom, foam, sponge, withdrawal) are more effective in theory than in practice.
