A member asked:
How much the bmi of 25-27 of my gf can affect the effectiveness of belara? should we use more than withdrawal as a backup method for birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withdrawal ineffecti: You should know that withdrawal is NOT a backup method at all. Your girlfriend could still get pregnant. Condoms can slip off, have a hole or slip partially off. By themselves don't provide the best of methods of birth control but they do offer protection from STDs. Your girlfriend could use foam or cream spermatocide with you using a condom. This would be more effective.
