A member asked:

Will having sex more than one a day increase the chance if paragard birth control to fail? i am currently 2 days late and am nervous

Specializes in Family Medicine

Not likely: Every method has a failure rate but intercourse twice in one day should not raise the paraguard failure rate. If no period after a week then check a blood test for pregnancy.
