Using contraception is the best way to prevent an unintended pregnancy. Generally, both males and females should use a reliable form of contraception during sexual intercourse. For men, this can include condoms or other barrier methods, or for those that are surgically sterile, a vasectomy or permanent birth control; for women options include hormonal birth control such as the pill, patch and ring; intrauterine devices (IUD’s) and sterilization surgery.  Additionally it is important to practice safe sex practices including using condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections and avoiding having sex with multiple partners. Lastly it's important that couples have open dialogue and plan ahead when making decisions about pregnancy prevention especially if one or both partners have an STD history that may complicate their ability to get pregnant later on.

If you’re looking to avoid pregnancy while having sex, here are some tips to help:
Discuss fertility and contraceptive methods before any sexual activity.
Avoid ejaculation, such as by using a condom or diaphragm.
Avoid any form of penetration such as inserting fingers into the vagina. 
Limit intercourse to the lowest-risk days of your menstrual cycle, if you’re trying to prevent pregnancy naturally. 
Keep in mind that spermicides or birth control pills may not provide full protection from pregnancy, so other forms of birth control may be necessary.
