| Why contraception fails |
It's natural to assume that if someone is using contraception, they are protected against unexpected pregnancy. But sadly this isn't always the case. One can end up pregnant even after using protection and hence written below is a detailed list pg reasons as to why contraception can fail:
Why does contraception fail?
● Keep in mind that no method of contraception is 100% effective. There are methods which are referred to as 98% to 99% effective and that means that for every 100 couples that choose the specific type of contraceptive method, it is a given that 1 or 2 may experience pregnancy.
● Also the method of contraception must be used exactly according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure full effectivity. Not all people use contraception perfectly. In that case, the method of contraception loses its effectiveness. For instance, the combined oral contraceptive pill is 99.7% effective when used with exact details. There must be proper contraception awareness.
● Being given the wrong instructions about the methods of various contraceptive measures may also lead to the failing of the contraceptive measures.
Choosing the contraceptive method that works right for you and your partner is essential to avoiding an unintended pregnancy. If you're a woman and you know that you won't be able to take a pill at the same time every single day, then the progesterone-only (mini) contraceptive pill is not designed for you. Acess your capabilities and decide accordingly. On the other hand, if you've decided that you don't want any more children, then a vasectomy may be a great choice.
Also there are a variety of other birth control methods that one can settle for. Talk to your doctor and make a decision accordingly.
