Medical Video: Dr. William Davis, The Most Powerful Tool for Weight Loss
Couples who are not ready to have children or do not want to have more children need to use contraception to prevent pregnancy. Birth control pills are usually the easiest choice and can be effective in preventing pregnancy. But if a woman forgets to drink it, then this method is not effective. Condoms can be an effective way to prevent pregnancy. However, if a man forgets to use a condom or does not use it properly then this method is not effective.
For every 100 couples who use each type of contraception, the following chart shows how many couples are pregnant within a year.
- Contraceptive methods are considered truly effective if no partner is pregnant while using this method.
- Very effective means that between 1 and 2 out of 100 couples become pregnant while using the method.
- Effective means 2 to 12 of 100 couples become pregnant while using the method.
- Effective enough means 13 to 20 of 100 couples become pregnant while using the method.
- Less effective means that 21 to 40 of 100 couples become pregnant while using the method.
- And ineffective means more than 40 out of 100 couples become pregnant while using this method.

Choosing a contraceptive method based on how well its performance is very important, but there are other things to remember when choosing the form of contraception. This includes:
- How easy is the use of the contraceptive method
- How much costs are needed for the contraceptive method
- Whether a person's health condition or the use of drugs will affect the work of certain contraceptive methods.
