There are a variety of family planning options available to women and couples, including:
 

1. Hormonal contraceptives: These include birth control pills, patches, injections, vaginal rings, and hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs). Hormonal contraceptives work by preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
 

2. Barrier methods: These include condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps. Barrier methods work by physically preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
 

3. Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs): These include hormonal or copper IUDs and contraceptive implants. LARCs are highly effective and can provide long-term contraception for several years.
 

4. Sterilization: This includes tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men. Sterilization is a permanent form of contraception.
 

5. Fertility awareness-based methods: These include tracking ovulation and abstaining from intercourse during the fertile window, or using barrier methods during this time. Fertility awareness-based methods require education and commitment, but can be effective when used correctly.
 

6. Emergency contraception: This includes the "morning-after pill," which can be taken within a few days of unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
 

It is important for women and couples to work closely with their gynaecologist to choose a family planning method that meets their individual needs and preferences. Factors to consider may include effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and cost.
