spermacide question

[foofighter]

i really like using encare oval spermacides. i was wondering how accurate are they in preventing pregnancy? we dont use condoms just the spermacide alone. we use it correctly and we only use it a few times a month the other times he pulls out (very well.
i am 32 so i dont think my eggs are dropping as much as they did when i was in my early 20's. we already have one child. weve been using the encare ovals for about 4 months now and so far so good. it does burn him a bit thats why we kinda limit how often we use it.
so has anyone here gotten pregnant from spermacide? or know of any??

I'd say your contraception methods are risky. I don't have personal experience with encare ovals, but I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be used in conjunction with a condom. Also, the pull out method is far from fool proof. Sperm can and does leave a mans penis before he ejaculates in his pre-ejaculate. If you absolutely positively do not want to get pregnant, then I'd either use condom and spermicide every time, or you or your partner should have sterilization surgery. Even those methods aren't 100%. Close to it, but not 100%.

My mother got pregnant while using spermacide without condoms...
