Withdrawal and birth control pill together - effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: Birth-control is highly effective when taken correctly. The withdrawal method is very ineffective. If you are using birth control correctly then adding the withdrawal method is not necessary. If you want extra reassurance use condoms.
