A member asked:
I'm scared of using birth control pills but i've been told condoms are a lot less effective. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes yes: birth control pills are more effective but if you have regular cycles and know about when you ovulate you can avoid that time and due a condom other times and be fairly safe. Pregnancy can occur with any method but birth control pills are the easiest for most people
