Your ovulation app isn’t much help
Some couples believe they can successfully use the pull-out method because they track the woman’s ovulation, meaning they know when she is the least and most fertile. They try to avoid intercourse during her most fertile days and instead, opt to schedule it on her least fertile days. To track this, many women use ovulation tracking apps, which are meant to predict when a woman is fertile. Here’s the issue with that: doctors say that these are extremely inaccurate. How inaccurate? Well, they’re only right about 21 percent of the time. Whoa. So they’re wrong…most of the time. Unless you use an actual ovulation kit to test ovulation, you should not justify using the pull-out method because you “know when you’re fertile.”
