Along with taking desogestrel mini pill, does the pull out method further decrease chances of pregnancy?

Q: along with taking desogestrel mini pill, does the pull out method further decrease chances of pregnancy?

: Maybe a little. There is constant exposure to sperm containing semen during active, unprotected intercourse. It only takes one to establish pregnancy. The climax brings semen with a higher concentration of sperm so it does have more risk, however, consistent use of the pill as prescribed is usually enough protection to avoid pregnancy.
