How effective is the rhythm method as a natural method of birth control?
What will be an ideal response?
The typical-user failure rate is around 25 percent for all rhythm methods, however, failure rates are lower when the woman's cycle is very regular and the couple are highly motivated and have been well-instructed in the methods. The effectiveness of the rhythm method also depends partly on one's purpose in using it; if absolute pregnancy prevention is the goal, the method is just not effective enough. But if the couple simply wish to space pregnancies further apart, the method is effective. The effectiveness of rhythm methods can also be improved by combining them with other forms of contraception.
