Poor birth control: Only 100% safe sex is no sex. Your most fertile period is the week leading up to ovulation; sex outside this period is less likely to cause pregnancy, but it is nowhere close to 100%. The rhythm method is far inferior to actual protection (either hormone (pill) or barrier (condom)).

Agree with Dr. Ho: Only 100% safe is abstinence. Don't gamble when it comes to pregnancy - use protection every time if you don't wish to be pregnant. Take care.
