NATURAL CONTRACEPTION

 Rhythm Method: Monitor woman’s fertility cycle so she knows when she is most fertile and so does not have sex on those days.

ADVANTAGE:The rhythm method doesn't require a prescription 

DISADVANTAGE: The rhythm method doesn't provide any protection against sexually transmitted infections 

Withdrawal Method: Withdrawal prevents pregnancy by keeping sperm out of the vagina. Pregnancy cannot happen if there is no sperm present

ADVANTAGE:There are no medical or hormonal side effects.

DISADVANTAGE:Is not recommended for teens and sexually inexperienced men because it takes lots of experience before a man can be sure to know when he's going to ejaculate
