@coopsmama: @Rainbow Sprinkles: @FaithFertility: Condoms are only 95% effective when used correctly. I don't know if that takes into account breakage, but there's still always going to be a chance that there are small defects that allow sperm through, even if you can't see it. Sperm are tiny, and it only takes one! Pull-out is actually 97% effective if used correctly, so despite its bad rap it's better than condoms. The catch is that condoms are easier to use correctly. But we used pull-out for 8 years with no accidents, then got pregnant in 1 try 3 times and 2 tries once, so clearly it was working.
-
@Torchwood: I think the problem with pull out C's condoms is the user error is much higher and it's entirely in the guy, where with condoms, the woman knows if he's wearing one or not, you know? Not saying it's not a good option for some.

One of my pregnancies was on the nuva ring but it wasn't an option to select.
-
@Foodnerd81: Oh, it's definitely not the best option for everyone. I would never counsel someone that's not very responsible, and in a committed relationship with a man they trust to use it. It definitely requires some self-control on his part. We actually got pregnant this time because DH decided not to at the last minute, but he knew I was ready to start TTC and we were just waiting on him, so it was fine.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Well your story is nothing short of magical and I guess sometimes God has plans bigger than what we know!
-
@MrsHansen82: seriously!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: So glad Theo made his way to you!! But I'm counting on being in that 99% until we remove it...but you're right, 99% still means a chance I guess!
-
@Dandelion: I know of three other women who got pregnant on the nuva ring, too...
-
My brother beat an IUD. My niece and nephew were both conceived despite SiL being "on the pill", though I haven't asked about how faithfully she was taking it. There were some rumblings about Oktoberfest bearing some responsibility for my niece, so . . .
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: congratulations!!
@Mrs. Jacks: slightly off topic, but I didn't realize IUD pregnancies could be viable! I just sorta assumed that they wouldn't be. Add another layer to Theo's amazing story!
-
@LovelyPlum: I was chatting with my OB yesterday and sharing the story with her. She said that if the device is not placed correctly in the uterus, there is a vanishingly small but non-zero chance that a pregnancy could survive.
I just can't get over the fact that he was conceived about a week after I miscarried, despite those odds. I feel like we were frantic to find each other-his little soul and mine!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Just had to say that is so beautiful. During your tears and sorrow, he was making his way to you.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: wow, that is amazing. His soul and yours clearly need each other
-
@simplyfelicity: @LovelyPlum: It brings me such peace to know that. Mama S and I figured this out during the NICU stay... When we did, I cried. All the suffering and pain that we both went through made so much sense after that.
