It does at ;least provide a middle ground, where the final figure may be less or greater than that. It gives an average based on a sample group. I was surpised by the difference between the typical/average vs perfect numbers especially with nuvaring (which ive had experience with before). It’s a higher number than I would have expected for the various methods, so thanks @Parsifal for posting the graphic. It gives a bit of a sense of what is possible for a random sample group.

For the record, I enjoyed condom free with a regular partner for many years with nuvaring and over many hundreds of experiences, probably no more than one incident where a secondary method was used. That it could have only been 92% is an interesting stat to know.

Perhaps skepticism on effectiveness is a good general rule :wink:

You okay?

It’s fine if a post is deleted. I have had a few of mine removed as well. Not a big deal. Sometimes we aren’t aware of how it portrays the forum when we post something which goes over the line.

A part of being in a group like this forum is that there are rules and standards in the group. And in this case, it could be a certain type of communication which we didn’t intend.

We can even have the most pure intent but sometimes it doesn’t come across that way. And the comment is removed to preserve the value of the forum. Which is a good thing when we look at it from a big picture kind of view .

So lets understand this, avoid pushing back against the administration of the forum and move on.

I might not agree with everything on the forum but that doesn’t make it nonsensical.

. May i know what are you feeling is the non sense here?

Nonsense is not the most balanced term, diverging opinions is maybe more accurate.

But also widely diverging opinions can make no sense to each other so that’s how I meant it.

all true, but, that means that the 2-3 days leading up to your period are 100% safe and you can probably even have semen inside of you without issue.

There are ways to actually track this so that even though it varies woman to woman and cycle to cycle, the woman can find out for herself what the real variation of her cycle is. I know some women who are adamant that after day XYZ of their period, they are outside of the window, because it’s consistent for them, and some other women don’t play with fire like this at all and just prefer to always use condoms

condoms very very rarely break and yes, you can get “plan B” if it does happen
