The use of contraceptive method choice
Most methods of contraception and birth control are almost one hundred percent of pregnancy-proof. Human error plays a large part why unplanned pregnancies occur among people who practice birth control.
One example is the use of pills. The pills must be taken at exactly the same time every day. Forgotten or late in taking a scheduled Pill intake and having unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy. Also, because the pills are taken in cycles, disruption in the cycle caused by missed pills can be tricky to correct and cause an unplanned pregnancy without a backup or alternative form of birth control.
Condoms are also vulnerable to abuse. Do not take the air out of the condom before putting it on can cause it to explode because of the friction created by intercourse. Also, use a condom does not fit well can cause an explosion or slide and spill semen during sexual intercourse.
Diaphragms, cervical caps, and IUDs, on the other hand, need to be checked at least once a month for the right position. Misalignment or improper coverage can give you a little pathway for sperm to reach the egg and begin the process of fertilization.
Consistent use of contraceptive methods
Inconsistencies in the use of contraceptive methods also contribute to the number of unplanned pregnancies that occur while on birth control. Missed pills or have unprotected sex without a condom "just this time", is enough to cause a pregnancy. Because sperm can live inside the female reproductive system during the day, having only one unprotected encounter was enough to cause a pregnancy even if sexual intercourse successfully created using contraception.
Other antibiotics
Taking antibiotics has been found to affect and interfere with the effectiveness of the pill. Antibiotics can lower the plasma concentration levels steroid drugs in pill that can drastically alter their effects. If the pill is taken with antibiotics, it is recommended those women and their partners to use a backup birth control method to increase the efficacy of the pill decreases. Backup contraception sperm can come in the form of gels, creams and condoms.
Broken condoms and other barrier methods
Damage is the main cause for the failure of a barrier method of contraception. Broken condoms and other barrier methods provide a way for the sperm to escape and reach the egg. Condoms are usually damaged due to increased friction and pressure during sexual intercourse. Using the proper size and proper condom latex-safe lubricant can help minimize the condom broke. Other barrier methods can benefit from monthly checks to assess and maintain suitable.
Believes there is a safe time for after sex
There is never a safe time for after sex. Research has shown that while most pregnant women during their days in mid-cycle or fertile, some also get pregnant on the days that are usually regarded as non-fertility. Thus, it is suggested that protection can always be used every time one has sex to prevent unplanned pregnancies.
