The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) has compiled statistics on various methods of contraception, and their success rates. Most methods must be used correctly every time in order to maximally effective.

Effectiveness (from least to greatest):

71-82 % Spermicides alone

79-95 % Female condom

75-99 % Fertility awareness planning ("the rhythm method")

85-98 % Male condom

94-94 % Diaphragm or cervical cap

92-99 % Oral contraceptives ("the Pill")

92-99 % Mini pill

92-99 % Hormone release patch

92-99 % Hormone release vaginal ring (the NuvaRing)

97-99 % Hormone injections ("the shot")

99 % Subdermal implant (aka "Norplant")

>99 % Copper T IUD

>99 % Mirena IUS (hormone release IUD)

100 % Total abstinence

A combination of male condoms and spermicidal lubricant is often recommended since it is easy to use, doesn't require advance preparation, and can be obtained without a doctor's prescription.

How effective is the calendar method of contraception in preventing pregnancy?

The calendar method of contraception, also known as fertility awareness or natural family planning, is not as effective as other forms of birth control. It relies on tracking a woman's menstrual cycle to determine when she is most fertile and avoiding intercourse during that time. However, this method is not foolproof and has a higher failure rate compared to other contraceptive methods. It is important to use additional protection if relying solely on the calendar method to prevent pregnancy.
