A member asked:
Birth control- currently on the mini pill, and weaning off nursing- how effective is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
97% to 98%: The "mini-pill" is a Progesterone only form of birth control, but it is just as effective as any of the combination (estrogen/progesterone) birth control pills. Generally the failure rate for oral contraceptives (any type) is in the range of 3%.
