A member asked:
Has anybody ever used spermicides before and gotten preggers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, very often: Spermicidal foams, gels, and films when used alone without a condom have a significantly high pregnancy rate. In other words, if 100 women were using a spermicide alone as their only means of contraception, approximately 20 would be pregnant in one year.
