Patient's question:
I am 33 years old, and my daughter is 8 years old. I have never used a birth control ring. Sometimes my partner uses withdrawal as a method of contraception, and sometimes it doesn't work, so I take a dose of those daily pills that are taken one per day. Is this method of contraception effective?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation outside the body carries the possibility of causing pregnancy. Ejaculation outside the body is the least effective form of contraception because a small amount of semen may leak out during sexual arousal, which is often not felt. One should be mentally prepared for the probability of pregnancy.
