That is what I was referring to, just in a quicker way, when I mentioned 75% with typical use. If you subtract 27 from 100, you get 73, which is how you get the percentage effectiveness rate (73%)...I was just rounding up to 75%. I think the number "27" sounds better, perhaps?
For perfect use (those couples who are intentionally using this method, with practice and routinely), the effectiveness rate does increase to 85% (all approximations). You might be closer to the "perfect use" category, as many couples use this method successfully as their only source of birth control. Other couples (27 of them, to be precise) out of every 100 couples would become pregnant each year who use this as their only source of birth control. Twenty-seven out of one-hundred couples per year is actually a high number, depending on the outcome!
