How is teen pregnancy handled at Hogwarts?
Hogwarts is a school full of hormone-infused teenagers who spend a decent amount of time "snogging". It stands to reason that there is plenty of...extra-snoggular...activity going on.
How is unwanted pregnancy handled/prevented at Hogwarts? Are there any examples of pregnancies occuring at Hogwarts or is there any evidence to support contraceptive spells?

This would appear to be a dupe of this question which itself is too broad so not sure of the best course of action though closing this probably makes the most sense.

In short it's not addressed and (unless JKR has one too many glasses of wine when her Twitter account is open) will never be addressed.
Q. How overtly concerned are you with the idea of Harry's growing up in the books?
JKR: I do want him [Harry] to grow up. I want them all to grow up, but not in a way
that's unfaithful to the tone of the books, i.e., I feel it would be
inappropriate-in these books -were Hermione to have an underage
pregnancy or if one of them were to start taking drugs, because it's
unfaithful to the tone of the books. It's not at all that I don't
think those themes can be explored superbly in children's literature.
It's just that in the Harry Potter books there isn't a place for those
particular issues. In book four, there is the most evidence so far
that they're getting older, in that they start getting interested in
boys and girls. Although there's been a hint of that in book three,
this time it's out in the open.
Jones, Malcolm. "The Return of Harry Potter," Newsweek, 10 July, 2000
These are books for children. You might as well ask how they're likely to address ritual satanic child abuse.
