Progestin use for contraception is statistically effective, but not 100%. Ask your GYN physician about use of low dose oral bcp's (can use 3-5 packs in a row without the "7-day placebo" week, and this regimen may be continued even after one's 40's and for a time past menopause, to ease the transition , and with more certain contraception.
