natural methods, like "retraction" and "rhythm," although rhythm works as well as the pill if you can abstain from having sex on the days you're not supposed to. if you want to know which pill works the best, they're really all the same.

A condom is 85-98% effective.  Look at this website:\nhttp://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/condom.htm

A vasectomy has about a 99.9% effectiveness rate... meaning that, out of 1000 couples who use it as their only birth control, one will get pregnant after a year.  Usually, if the vasectomy is going to fail, it will happen in the first four months.\n\nSince his semen analysis came back negative, you are good to go.  If you are really concerned about failure, you can give it some more time and have another semen analysis done, but the odds are frankly tiny.

A lot of women use birth control for just that reason. You're going to have to talk to your doctor about this, since you're taking those medications.

I take Marvelon. I was using another brand before but, switched. I've been on 'the pill' for over a year. I have not become pregnant and I do use it as my only form of birth control unless I've been on antibiotics. \n\nIf you are worried about the effectiveness of the pill, talk to your girlfriend, research and use condoms if you are still worried. There's nothing wrong with that. Good luck!

NO. I think the only herb/supplement that will make the pill ineffective is st. john' s wort. I don't remember why, but I know I read it on a medical site. Ivillage.com I think. I took hydroxycut for months while on the pill, and I didn't get pregnant.

Investigate something called The Billings Method, you can google it.  It is a fairly effective natural method of birth control taught by the World Health Organization, that can also be used to figure out a woman's most fertile time so that pregnancy *can* occur.

I've been on the pill for 5 years... my gyno said there aren't negative long term effects.  Beats wanting to die from horrible cramps.

The official answer is no, because according to what OBGYNs and other healthcare professionals have been taught you ovulate in the middle of your cycle. However this is not always accurate. Some women, myself included ovulate, at different times than that or even more than once a month. Their are conflicting viewpoints on this but this is one of the primary reasons some women do get pregnant while using that kind of birth control pill. You can find out when you ovulate. There are several methods to do this that you can find online. Or if this is a concern you can go back and talk to your healthcare provider about taking a different kind of pill that does not use a placebo or a different form of birth control. \n I am the mother of four children and have been pregnant six times. I have gotten pregnant before on birthcontrol pills for this reason, which is not all that uncommon. The statistics do not accurately represent these failures because the medical community tends to blame the failure on the woman taking the pills must have forgotten to take them. I am also a trained doula, certified breastfeeding educator and student midwife.

The best birth control is that blue ring thing.  The ring is so small the baby cant fit through it to be born.

ABSTINENCE IS THE ONLY 100% EFFECTIVE METHOD IN PREVENTING PREGNANCY. if you are on birth control you can STILL GET PREGNANT. if you read the label it says it is not 100% effective. you need to talk to your doctor and also read up on STD's because its not worth the risk.

Actually its about 95% realiable provided u dont miss a pill (which means for more than 12hrs). Abstinence is of course the most reliable...not the most fun but yes most reliable :P. Intra uterine devices are good too but comes with side effects like increase vaginal thrush and increase chance of pelvic inflammatory disease. Condom with additional spermicide is a pretty good choice too. U may also wanna check out Evra patches...u patch it on and u only need to replace it once a week.

I had the heavy bleeding while on the depo shot, which I was not supposed to get. Apparently the nuva-ring just isn't agreeing with you. Different forms of birth control work better on different people.
