Having intercourse during ovulation is a desired sexual activity for many couples, but without contraception, pregnancy is possible. If you are planning to have a baby, taking birth control measures is crucial. If you're not sure how to prevent pregnancy, or are looking for more birth control options, this article will provide you with some helpful information.

So, how can you avoid getting pregnant if you have intercourse during ovulation? There are many methods, here are some common ones:

1. Oral contraceptive pills: Oral contraceptive pills are one of the most common contraceptive methods. They usually contain a pill and an oral device. After sexual intercourse, women need to take the medication orally into their bodies. Oral contraceptives prevent embryo formation and are therefore usually suitable for couples trying to have a baby.

2. Topical Contraceptives: Topical contraceptives are medications placed inside the vagina that prevent the embryo from forming. They usually come in a small plastic container that a woman can apply into her vagina after sex.

3. Instrumental contraception: Instrumental contraception is a method that uses plastic or metal tools to prevent the formation of embryos. These tools, often called "contraceptive devices," are inserted into a woman's body during sexual intercourse.

4. IUD: An IUD is a method that is placed inside a woman’s body to prevent the formation of an embryo. They are usually contained on a plastic strap and can be inserted into a woman during sex.

5. Contraceptive injections: Contraceptive injections are a method of injecting drugs to prevent the formation of embryos. This method is usually suitable for couples trying to have children, but it requires a doctor to administer the injection.

The above are some common contraceptive methods. You can choose the method that suits you according to your needs and preferences. No matter which method you choose, you should talk to your doctor before having sex to ensure your and your partner's safety.
