Also, I know that something called a “Diaphragm” used to be used as birth control, but it sounds really unreliable. Is that way more unreliable than a condom?
How can anyone ever get accidentally pregnant if they use birth control and a condom? They can’t can they? (Obviously, “pulling out” is the worst birth control method ever, and shouldn’t even really be called a birth control method, but just plain dumb)..
Just trying to understand how in this day and age anyone can ever get pregnant accidentally.
Best Answer: well.... nothing is 100% reliable. cause anything can happen. but at least you are being safe. so you are reducing your chances of pregnancy. BUT KEEP IN MIND IT COULD STILL HAPPEN.

If using both condoms and birth control it has proven to be about 99.9% effective.
People get pregnant “accidentally” because they don’t use reliable forms of birth control
pulling out is effective if the guy knows when…ive pulled out more than ive used a condom and it was actually the condom that was the time i got a girl pregnant…
it is extremely reliable, both of them. getting pregnant “accidentally” means they did not use birth control, they just said they were because they feel dumb probably
All birth control that is out there has a chance of malfunction. The only way you can not get pregnant is abstinence.
Birth control isn’t 100% effective, so if the condom breaks and the birth control doesn’t do its part well you end up accidentally pregnant!
Also if you take your birth control late or miss it one day its less effective to when its not already 1005 effective!!
Using both is pretty damn reliable because that creates 2 different barriers to pregnancy. Using a condom IS more reliable than a diaphram though because during sex, it can get shifted inside the vagina whereas a condom, for the most part, should stay in place. Personally, I only use the pill but occasionally, I do use condoms as well.
You know, I’m 19, sexually active, and I’ve obsessed probably more than is ever necessary over that same question.
My girlfriend is on Yaz birth control pills and we use condoms every time, and we haven’t had any problems.
When taken correctly (i.e. taken every day) the pill is statistically from 95-99% effective. Couple this with condoms which are 85-90% effective and you have almost nothing to worry about. And if you’re using spermicidal condoms that of course lessens the chances even futher. Nothing is 100% effective, though, you can only be as safe as you possibly can.
