Give it time or get help?

Question

I just got the paragard IUD because I have a really big fear of becoming pregnant that it was taking a toll on me mentally even if I would avoid having sex on my fertile week. Well I had sex for the first time since getting it and it happened to be when my “fertile week” should’ve been happening and I still made him use the pull out method. I have noticed that im still feeling uneasy about it. Should I get professional help or because I see so many stories of the IUD failing should I keep being careful?

Answer

I would say use condoms for extra protection. People do get pregnant with IUDs still. It’s not common but it can happen. And if you are with someone who refuses to wear one, get rid of them 
Your health is THE TOP priority. Avoiding pregnancy is a priority to you so anyone you have sex with should be okay with using a condom. And if they’re not, tell them to kick rocks.

Answer

You should definitely get therapy for anything that is causing you so much anxiety and fear that you are having irrational thoughts or it’s interfering with your normal activities.

Answer

Just add in condoms. 
There’s nothing wrong with using multiple forms of birth control.
Sounds like you were just using FAM which is extremely unreliable. Using an iud and condoms is extremely reliable.

Answer

Use condoms and have him pull out.
