Birth Control Effects of Getting Pregnant

Birth Control Effects on Getting Pregnant

 

Proper use of birth control methods directly affects the degree of risk of getting pregnant. Below are some current statistics which you may find useful. Whether you are considering getting pregnant or trying to avoid getting pregnant and want to know about birth control effects and getting pregnant, these statistics will help you understand your chances. The statistics are presented per 100 women per year when birth control methods are used correctly.

male condom alone

 

21%

female condom alone

 

17%

diaphragm with spermicide

 

17-23%

Less than 1%

Women weighing more than 198lbs. should note that the contraceptive patch is noticeably less effective than in thin to moderately overweight women. Also important is the myth surrounding the withdrawal method. Withrawal is not an effective method of birth control. When considering effective methods of birth control and getting pregnant, remember that with this method pregnancy is highly possible because when a man pulls out before ejaculating, he usually leaves behind a small amount of fluid leaked from the penis during sex. There are enough sperm in this fluid to cause pregnancy. For more specific advice on which method of birth control is right for you, any birth control effects (whether negative or positive) and concerns about pregnancy and transmission of STDs, consult your health professional.
