Does birth control work on all females?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing is 100%: The most common cause of failed contraception is related to user-error: missed pills, patch, ring, shot, etc, but even if you use a method perfectly, failures can happen. Next to permanent sterilization, the most effective methods include iuds and implants--which are "forgettable"--and not as subject to user-error, making them easy and very effective to use. Talk with your doctor about options.
