How effective is encare spermicide when ovulating to prevent pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High failure rate: There is a 28% failure rate using spermicide alone. Use spermicide plus a barrier method such as a condom, diaphragm or cervical cap for greater protection. Effectiveness rises to 95% when using spermicide plus a barrier.
