Probabilty of pregnancy with copper IUD, plus condoms with spermicide?

Question:

I just has my copper Iud inserted yesterday and i seriously don't want to be pregnant. I know abstinence is the only 100% effective contraceptive against pregnancy but still i'm kinda wondering what are the chances of getting pregnant if you have copper IUD and uses condoms with spermicides everytime?

Answers:
The risk of pregnancy is low with what you describe. However, as you say, it's not zero. Just the same there is another thing you can do as well. After your period, your body will ovulate about 10-14 days later. You will know this because there is a slight rise in body temperature when that happens (should you be monitoring your temperature). During that first week and a bit, it's save for sex because your ovaries are not ready with that egg. So, use a condom - they do break sometimes - as you say and against those STDs.

Other Answers:
Incalculably small unless there is a series of unfortunate events--(the IUD falls out, the condom breaks, and the spermicide goes bad all at the same time).

Extremely slim to none!!!!!

I think the condom is overkill if you're in a monogamous relationship but if you don't mind and he doesn't mind, good for you!! And condoms are always good if you're not in a monogamous relationship, of course. Glad to hear you're taking good precautions! I have a Mirena IUD and I love it.

Unless it's an immaculate conception, I'd say the odds are fairly long. The odds are almost lottery like of all three devices failing at the same time...

I don't think you're going to get pregnant with those two methods - only if the condom splits, at the same time that you ovulate, and if the IUD somehow doesn't work... I don't see it happening. I also think it's great that you're using a barrier method, which protects against sexually transmitted diseases, too. Just remember to make sure your partner uses the condom properly. Read the instructions with the packet.

i think that you pretty much have all of your bases covered if you're using three types of protection. if you do get pregnant while you're using all three, then maybe you are supposed to be with child. i doubt that you'll become pregnant, though. just relax.
