Question 1

is birth control pills, condoms, and a vasectomy a good combo of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Contraception : Yes.  All 3 of those together are very protective against pregnancy.  Generally speaking, pregnancy would not be an issue after a male partner has obtained a vasectomy.  This procedure would need reversal in order for pregnancy to occur.  When used correctly birth control alone is 99.9% effective.  Condoms are about 98% effective when used correctly.

Unsure, possible: The dosing is 2 pills taken 12 hours apart. One pill may have some impact on fertility, but if using this to prevent conception it should be taken as prescribed.

Accepted Answer

Inactive pills: The inactive pills have no hormones and are only to keep you taking a pill every day and knowing when to start the next pack

Question 9

Wrong choice: Plan B is designed to be used when other methods fail for some reason and should not be used on a regular basis. If you know you are going to have sex, you need to plan for a safer more reliable method and should use condoms to decrease the risk of STDs.

Question 10

we have a sex ten days ago with my girlfriend is there any drugs or pills she can take so that to prevent pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Not this late: The morning after pills that are available OTC can work best if taken within 48-72 hrs of exposure. One may work up to a week. Ten days is a bit late to start thinking about contraception.
