Hello. I have gotten the Paragard. Im curious about its effectiveness over time. I read that there is a .08% chance of becoming pregnant the first year of use. Does the risk of becoming pregnant increase each year? If so, by how much? I know that they say its safe for 10 years, thats not my question. Thank you for your help.
HelloThanks for your query. The efficacy of Regard is 99. 5 % and it is effective up to 10 years. So there is no question of reducing efficacy each year. Studies only mention the failure rate in the first year of typical use. Take care.
