So although it is effective i do not recommend it. Now, i simply do not get pregnant. its not that i wont. I just dont do it anymore. For years. So my OB/Gyn who is a male german doctor and always have been my doctor eversince goes wide-eyed when he asked me...are you sexually active? Ingon ko niya. No. One time i thought i'd do something so i went to him asking for some kind of birth control. He said, if you are not sexually active i will not recommend you taking any of those birth control and anything inserted cause your body is not used to it and it will consider those things foreign object, hehehe...basin kuno ma shock akong system with anything new. So leave as is he said, just condom and spermicide if you dont do it all the time. I mean if you dont have a regular partner and you dont do it every week naman, condom and spermicide should be okay to use. Or condom and cervical caps that women insert in there. But remember guys, dont trust on withdrawal. I got pregnant that way. By accident. It was not planned. I hope you take this as something educational and informative.
