Withdrawal + Glow

Gunce • Head of research at Glow. Unwilling infertility expert. 2 kids after 6 IVF treatments.

Hey ladies -

So some Glow surveys I have run suggest that about 25% of our non-TTC users rely on the withdrawal method of birth control. After condoms, it is the second most popular form of birth control selected by our user base. 

So I have a question for everyone who relies on the withdrawal method of birth control. 

Do you also factor in your fertile period on Glow while you practice withdrawal. AKA - maybe don't have sex or use a condom when in fertile window, then go back to withdrawal when done with fertile window?

Thanks in advance!

PS. This isn't a discussion on whether the withdrawal method is a good or bad idea.
