Birth control vs no birth control?

I'm trying to figure out the effectiveness of birth control...


This is my understanding of it so far: if you take it properly, the regulates your period and so when you have sex when you're not ovulating, then you have a 99% chance you won't get pregnant. But what if your monthly period is super regular; then would I need birth control since I ovulate around the same time all the time?





Quick ovulation question: so you take the dates from one period to the second period, divide by two, and during that week you have a high risk of pregnancy right? but right after/right before your next period you have the lowest risk of pregnancy?Birth control vs no birth control?
No, that's not how birth control works at all. It doesn't work by just keeping you on a regular schedule.


There's two different types of the pill. One type works by basically tricking your body into thinking that it's already pregnant, so you that you NEVER ovulate and release eggs. And the other thickens the cervical mucus to slow the movement of the sperm so it won't reach the egg.





With the pill, you can have sex at any time of the month, no matter where you are in your cycle, and still have 99.7% protection from pregnancy. (provided you're taking it on-time and every day.)





Timing sex around your ovulation cycle is an unreliable method of birth control. Because not every woman ovulates on the same days in her cycle. The pill (or the shot, patch, ring) is a safer choice.Birth control vs no birth control?
wow this is some hard questions but for the birth control one, i dont think its the fact that your period is regular or not i mean you can still run the risk of getting pregnat if you have sex without any protection no matter if ur period is regular because even though u may ovulate around the same time and the egg only live for a period of 24 hours, the sperm can live a long time and herefore if when he ejacuates he is in you, the sperm will sit and basically wait for your next ovulation period so yeah hope this kinda helped
Birth control is 99% effective if used corectly and means you can have sex anytime. It also mimics pregnancy so your body doesn't ovulate. The rythym method has a much lower rate at being effective. You have a high chance of getting pregnant and of course are limited to when you can have sex.
If you take your birth control properly your risk or pregnancy is very low at any time.
I would say be safe, take birth control, even if you are regular.
take it, you should not risk it
