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.

Source? I'm obese and I'm on one of those, I wonder why my doctor hasn't said anything?

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.

Oh i'll just shut up then shall I seeing as though my experience doesn't count. Open forum - get over it.

User failure for depo could be not going for the next injection soon enough.

I've just looked it up, you are correct, perfect use is (from Wikipedia):
"defined as being no longer than 14 or 15 weeks after an injection (i.e., no more than 1 or 2 weeks late for a next injection)
"

Maybe I am mistaken. I will check the facts to be certain.

ETA: It seems I was. I can't find anything to support it. Admittedly, I heard that through a friend. I should've double checked first. My apologies.

Your experience is just that though. YOUR experience. It isn't everyone's and it's not fact.

No one said you couldn't comment. Feel free. But everyone has the right to respond also, and voice their opinion about what is being said.

I was responding to someone who asked about the use of both female contraception and condoms, it's my experience you're right there, but seeing as i'm no expert in the subject, that's all I can offer.

Sorry it is not the best source out there but is probably relatively accurate nonetheless

The problem with research being that you can skew the findings to substantiate any result that you want

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!

OK, I'll stop being lazy and use a calculator:
% failure of implant: 0.05%
% failure of male condom (used correctly - how on earth do you use a condom incorrectly? It's not exactly rocket science): 2%
% failure chance if you are using both: 0.05% x 2% = 0.001%
So extremely unlikely, but still possible, of course.
