There are many effective methods of contraception in addition to oral contraceptives. ACOG finds that short-acting contraceptives (like oral contraceptives) have [b]lower [/b]pregnancy rates than long-acting reversible contraceptives (IUD and implant).

I think you said this backwards

In the same study population, unintended pregnancy rates for short-acting contraceptives were 22 times higher than unintended pregnancy rates for LARC. Women younger than 21 years using short-acting contraceptives had a risk of unintended pregnancy that was two times the risk among older women using short-acting contraceptives, but the risk was the same if they were using LARC (8). Poor continuation coupled with higher failure rates decrease the efficacy of short-acting contraception in young women.[/quote]

Yikes! Yes, I did say it backwards! Teenagers using short-acting contraceptives have HIGHER pregnancy rates. Thanks for the correction.[/quote]
