Looking for contraceptive options like rhythm or withdrawal?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Alternative CP: The rhytm method works well in women who have regular periods and can follow the changes occuring in the cervical mucus during cycle. The withdrawl method works in similar people when avoiding coitus during the period from day 10 ( from 1st day of menses) till day 18.

Neither work well: Withdrawal doesn't work because the erect penis is leaking sperm constantly. It only takes one to impregnate.The rhythm method,also called Vatican roulette, is minimally effective in those with predictable cycles.Expect a failure rate that exceeds 20% per year of use.
