This factsheet is for men and women who want to know about contraception. Contraception is what a man and woman use if they want to have sex together but do not want to have a baby.
How a woman gets pregnant
A woman's body gets ready for a baby by thickening the lining of the uterus. Each month a woman releases an egg from one of her ovaries. If a woman's egg does not meet with a man's sperm a baby will not grow. The uterus lining and the egg will come out as her period.
