How likely is it that birth control should let you down?

Interesting way to look at it.

“The longer any method of contraception is used, the greater the probability of unplanned pregnancy — the same way that any small risk, taken repeatedly, grows in likelihood. This is true for all contraception methods, even in the highly unlikely event that they are used perfectly, every time.”

I had no idea that length of time diminished the effectiveness.

Honestly those numbers a little scary.

Yes, especially with someone like me who’s on Risperdal and would depend on it. I can not get pregnant while on this drug. I think it would cause scary birth defects and I’d have to get an abortion. It would be tragic.
