But that's factually incorrect. One method does NOT always fail. And there are plenty of people who only use one method of birth control without becoming parents.[/quote]

Ok, fair enough if you want to parse the words that way.[b] I believe I told her that she should plan on the possibility (probability) one method failing if used in isolation many times,[/b] and to think of it like have a second goalie in a soccer game. I further suggested no "soccer" till marriage, but if you must play soccer only play with two goalies.

If you want your teen to only use one method of birth control you like playing roulette more than I do.

The effectiveness of an IUD is 99.8%. That is, if 1,000 women use an IUD for a year, 998 women will not get pregnant, and 2 women will get pregnant. That's the probability.

I, personally, don't consider that roulette, but maybe you do.

Now, should a person still use a condom, if they use an IUD? Yes. But not for prevention of pregnancy. For prevention of STIs. [/quote]
