    What are the methods to avoid pregnancy:

    Is the woman pill 100% effective?

    The condoms are 99% and when inserting them they don't cover the whole penis. Then in the act looks like the top stretches and gets very big and the condom always comes out....

    If the woman pill would be 1% noneffective and the man's condom 1% noneffective, does it mean the chances of pregnancy are 1%*1%=0,01% or lets say 1 in 10 thousand?

    No form of birth control is 100% effective. Both the pill and condoms are highly effective, if used correctly.

    This is really something you should speak to a doctor about.

    whellman1030 - no member here can give you the absolute statistics on what method of contraception is most effective for you and your partner - this is really something that you will need professional advice on.

    Please take a read of the forum charter - in particularly the section titled "Contraception/m.a.p./crises pregnancy", and arrange a meeting with your local family planning clinic or GP for more information.

    Regards,
    Mike
