Hallow Dear, I must congratulate and compliment you for advance planning of your family. Safe period like traditional methods are not safe methods for avoiding pregnancy. Though in this era there are many contraceptive methods available, they can be grossly categorized into three main groups: 1. Hormonal Methods: They include pills, implants, etc. 2. Condom like barrier methods 3. Intrauterine devices Emergency contraceptive pills should not be used as a regular method of contraception and should be reserved only for emergency situations. According to me, pills or condom should be best suiting for you to start with. Later on you may switch over to the other long term methods. I hope this gives you preliminary guidelines.
