I don't get it. Does that mean on average a couple using condoms for 10 years will be pregnant 1.5 times?
OK that’s great and everything and hurrah for the snipped, V for Victory yadda yadda…
But really, a chart on contraception made by Dr. Dick Beatty?!
I’m crying over here
Vasectomies aren't 100% foolproof.
Now how in the hell is female sterilization not 100%?
Even after tubal litigation it's possible to still get pregnant if the fallopian tubes grow back together or if another tube/path forms. It's somewhat rare (0.5% of women who have had the procedure could get pregnant again)
But the same thing can happen with vasectomies so why isn't it showing anything there?
Vasectomies are a lot easier to double check. A woman released 1 egg a month. A man released a LOT of swimmers every shot. Go in a cup and check for swimmers.
Isn't there a chance vasectomies don't take either?
It's almost 100% because "proper usage" includes periodic checks.
It's a lot easier to double check in men.
Guessing it's more female "sterilization"
