It's safer than withdrawal without spermicide, because you'll get pregnant!
Birth control suppositories are one of the least effective methods to begin with. Withdrawal is more effective than spermicide used alone. Consider getting some condoms and throwing out the expired suppositories.
Condoms, female condoms, spermicide, the sponge, foam, or IUD.

Spermicide condoms are less effective in preventing pregnancy compared to other methods of contraception. They have a failure rate of around 18% with typical use. To improve effectiveness, using spermicide condoms in combination with another form of birth control, such as hormonal methods, is recommended.
Withdrawal
Combined hormonal birth control methods -- those that contain estrogen -- include the regular birth control pill (but not the minipill or progestin-only pill), the ring, and the patch.

1) It depends on what type of birth control methods you're using (ex: the withdrawal method is not safe)2) Methods such as the pill, condoms, IUD, etc have pretty high effectiveness rates, so if you use one of those you will be safer.
If you stop the birth control pill and replace it with the withdrawal method, you will probably be pregnant within the year. If you don't want to get pregnant, talk with your health care about effective methods that meet your needs. Withdrawal is better than using nothing, but it has a very high failure rate.
The contraceptive method least likely to prevent pregnancy when used alone is the withdrawal method, also known as "pulling out." This technique relies on the male partner withdrawing his penis before ejaculation to prevent sperm from entering the vagina. However, it can be highly unreliable due to the potential for pre-ejaculatory fluid containing sperm and the difficulty in timing withdrawal accurately. Other less effective methods include spermicide used alone and fertility awareness methods, which require precise tracking of the menstrual cycle.
