Using birth control not effective, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: The only 100% effective method is abstinence. IUD's are about 99%, the pill about 95% and condoms about 80%.Other than the IUD , the ohe other methods require that people know how to use them and use them correctly every time. Failure to follow the recommended practices is the usual reason for failure.
