what is the most effective birth control?

Question

my boyfriend and I typically use a combination of calendar method, cervical mucus method, pull out, and condoms(especially during ovulation). Even with this we still worry quite often, to ease our worry I made this poll to see which is most effective and if we're safe enough with all the methods we use.

Answer

Well, IUDs and implants are the most effective technically, short of sterilization. But I'd say you're doing pretty well if you're combining those methods. But I wouldn't trust just pull out and calendar, so I have an IUD.

Answer

i do the pill & condoms and hes worked perfect for me so

Answer

pull out is not birth control,and tracking your ovulation is not a good method either. use actual birth control if you don't want to become pregnant.

Answer

I'd say the shot, it's worked 100% for me

Answer

I would use a condom every time if you're not on any type of hormonal birth control. It never hurts to be extra safe.

Answer

Not having sex is the most effective birth control 😂😂😂 hahaha I'm just kidding.

Answer

IUD, shot and implant: 99.9%
Pills, patch, ring: 99.7%
Condoms: 98%
Diaphragm, cervical cap, Withdrawal, FAM...: 95%
These are the statistics. The combination you're using is not entirely reliable.

Answer

Well I've been using the pull out method as I don't want synthetic hormones in my body, I don't want any risk of bleeding daily for months or having fertility problems in the future etc.. the pill made me crazy too.. I've been doing this for 2 years and I've been fine so far but I've been lucky!

Answer

abstinence

Answer

I recently stopped bc my last cycle. I'm in the process of getting a diaphragm which is as protective as bc if used and put in place properly, human error is why it's percentage is so low. I think iud's are more harmful than their worth, and after 7 years I'm tired of my attitude on hormones. 
Currently we use condoms, on my non ovulation days we do start sex without a condom, but half way through it goes on, he rarely does pull out. That's like if we have shower sex or something, but around ovulation I am very strict about it being wrapped up before going in me. 
We're doing our best to avoid having a baby, tracking what your CM looks like also helps you determine how accurate this app is about your cycle
