Here's a table showing the failure rates of the various contraceptives for people who seem to think that its possible to prevent every unplanned pregnancy.

Thanks, that's very infomative.
Wow natural family planning (perfect use) is quite effective, I didn't know that.
Also, how do you get 'user failure' of depo-provera?
I wonder what the comparable figures for hormonal contraception + male condoms are?

It is definitely true that vulnerable girls who've had difficult childhoods are more likely to want a baby young than those who've had loving supportive families and encouraged to have ambitions.

A baby gives you a role in life when you might never have managed to be successful in any other. You become a mother the 'most important job in the world', and you have somebody around who will love you simply and unconditionally which might be a first for a lot of them.

Its very rarely as simple as 'want council flat, will have baby.'

to be fair, you could get pregnant by accident and not realise until its too late to have a termination, it does happen

Yes that's a point, it is very rare though.

User failure for depo could be not going for the next injection soon enough. If you wait too long you have to do a pregnancy test before your next injection.

As for a combination, each one would still have the same failure rate as it would used alone so you'd be unlucky to have both fail on the same night but certainly not impossible!

Having been using both for 10 years (nearly 11 :eek: ) I haven't had a failure yet. Must be lucky

i doubt travel costs will go up that much, this is in london, so a travel card will only increase by a small amount either going across london or out of london. im going to make an assumption that he already works in central london or that he works in zone 2 or further out and they are not being placed in central london, therefore minimal extra costs. what takes time is train connections and bus connections. when i worked in croydon, because i was coming round from bromley, a journey which took me half hour once i got a car, used to take over 1.5 hours but it was as short distance away

Well we don't know exactly where they are, or how much their costs will increase by. I wasn't saying it was the reason. Just that that is the only possible reason I could think of.

It appears I come from the same area as you! :wave: So yeah, I totally get how long the bus journey's, and train ones, together with connection times can take. My journey to and from work, before moving, was an hour and a half each way on a good day!

I think excessive weight can affect how affective the injection is. And the implant. Possibly even the pill, though I don't know for sure.

And the pill failed me in year 4 (I was put on it at 13 to regulate my cycle). After that, it didn't fail me for the next 11 years. Then I switched contraception for medical reasons.

My point is your statement is anecdotal. Just as mine is. Facts are the only important thing here.
