Failure Rate of B.c If Used 100% Correctly Posted: 07-19-07 18:41pm
random, but i was just wondering the
failure rates for those that use birth
control 100% perfect..i never miss a pill
adn i always take it on time..i know the
stats with those that sometimes miss a
pill or w/e are 99% effective right?
so..what if you use it PERFECT...no missed
pills, no lateness..what are the chances
you could get preggo? just wondering

that is the sucess rate if take 100%
correctly all the time
that is why it is encouraged to use 2
types of birth controll for better
protection.

With perfect use, pills are about 98-99%
effective. Typical use lowers that to
95-97%. A second method is always safe.

so, if I use a spermacide which is about
70-75% effective correct? then I should be
ok? I really would hate to have to make
him go back to using condoms...but I do
not want to get pregnant...

You'd be okay with just the pills, but the
spermicide is an added bonus. I am on the
pills, and the pills are MORE effective
than condoms, and I've never gotten
pregnant on either.

you gotta remember to, NOTHING is 100%
effective, if they advertised that and
that 1% got prego while on the pill HUGE
LAWSUIT! LOL
but thats why the germ free stuff all that
stuff is advertised as 99% effective.

You named yourself worrywart for a reason,
didn't you? Lol.... I'm just teasing. We
all get paranoid from time to time.
I personally feel comfortable on the pill
and no extra form of b/c. I don't want
children yet, however, if I did get
pregnant my life wouldn't be over. If you
feel you need another form, there are lots
of options, not just spermicide (which you
may find is irritating to your vagina, I
did) but also a diaphragm or cervical cap.
Of course you can choose whatever you
want.

A cervical cap is only fitted
by a doctor, like contacts or glasses. It
does not stay in all the time. You put it
in before sex, and then leave it in for 6
hours afterwards before removing it.

I sure understand how you feel. Women have
different comfort level. Some girls are
already comfortable on taking just pills
but some needed more protection to reach
that comfort level. Are you a teen. I
guess you might be too young for me to
propose the IUD. If you need more info
just p.m. and I will answer right away.
However, I would suggest that you might
want to look and consider Implanon. It is
an implanted rod and it last for 3 years.
You don't have to remember anything for
those 3 years. It is hormonal and it is
highly effective. It is more effective
than the pill and is said to be slightly
more effective than tubal ligation!
(correct me if I'm wrong).
According to the article I've read, nobody
got pregnant during the clinical trial of
the Implanon so that means during the
trial the actual statistics is 100%
effective, but since a company can't claim
that something is 100% effective and we
always know that nothing fool proof. It
was said that it is 99.99% effective.
Implanon is a fairly new method. It was
only approved last year. If you want more
info you can go to
Wow that's cool. I did a ton of research
on it off the main site you posted, and
I'm really considering getting that,
especially when I found out the price is
only $22 for insertion!!

Yeah! Heck, $100 would be worth it. I
think it's going to be somewhere around
$20-$30...
I mean, if you think about it, insertion
pays for the implant itself, the cost of
the local anesthesia, and the cost of the
doc working for the (on average) 1 minute
30 seconds it takes to insert the thing,
lmao.
Unlike an IUD, which has a higher risk of
infection and takes (I'd imagine) a lot
more skill to insert without perforating
the uterus, norplant just goes in much
like animal tracking devices. Just stick
the needle into the arm, and place in the
implant as the needle is withdrawn... I
mean I could do that to myself.
lol.

Yeah i agree that IUD requires more
training. I don't quite get that the
implanon is not available yet in my local
clincs even though it's been approved for
more than a year. I know a lot of places
in the U.S. where the contraceptive is
being offered already. This was actually
my first choice before I found out about
IUD.

Well, unfortunately the clinic I went to
doesn't do implanon yet. However, I did
get a prescription for depo. Yes, I've
heard horror stories. However, I have had
NO adverse reaction to birth control
pills, so I think I have a great chance of
doing fine on depo ^^
