A member asked:

Partner had successful vasectomy. sperm count at zero. i'm on birth control. we use condoms and withdrawal method. chances of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No sperm: No sperm, no pregnancy possible. The main reason to continue using condoms is to protect against STDs. Birth control pills are 99% protective against pregnancy. Withdrawal method unnecessary given partner has had a vasectomy, you are on birth control pills and you are using condoms.

A member asked:

If a condom isnt rolled up all the way, but there is barely any penetration and the pull out method was technically used, is there a chance of pregnancy? The birth control ring was also used but it may not have been in full effect yet (day 5 of use?
