Jean dooes it also mean that any of us that get side effects w3ith drugs can sue now ok they warn you but sometimes it happens just like contraceptives

In 1981 I was told I was infertile! 1992 my 'now nightmare' was born!!! Love him to death but sometimes..................................!! lol Can I sue under 'trade discriptions act'?? lol Kim

How could any doctor be held responsible for failure of contraception? The only 100% way of not getting pregnant is abstinence. Does this now mean that no doctor will ever recommend contraception for fear of being held responsible if it fails. Am I the only sane one in a mad world or the only mad one in a sane world. Jean x.

100%????? No way....Never... I have a 20 and 15 year old to prove it! Chris

Dawn, I feel so sorry for the Doctor, it well could be the end of his career. R.B.xxx

Carol I agree can be a hard time finding yourself unexpectedly pregnant. Like you i wouldn't change him except today he's screaming blue murder cos his big sis took HER lap top away!!!!!! He's 8 and real handful.

RB Think this is so silly that poor doctor he was only doing his job what if it was the manufacture of it that was wrong not his fault. Most people know that any form isnt 100% its a risk you have to take

Don't think ANY contraceptive is 100% - after having my now 21 year old son and 17 year old daughter, I and my husband decided our family was complete. I had used the coil inbetween pregnancies and carried on with this - until I found out I was pregnant, with the coil still in situ!!! I was offered a termination on numerous occasions as they said the coil could have affected the foetus. I refused and they told me that taking the coil out (I was only 5 weeks pregnant) could cause a miscarriage, but that leaving it in could cause a miscarriage around 20 weeks! You can imagine my dilemna. I decided to have the coil taken out immediately. Then at 14 weeks pregnant when I had come to terms with the fact that we were going to have a new addition, I started bleeding heavily. It's strange how guilty I felt, I felt as though the baby knew he hadn't been planned. I went on to have a 37 week pregnancy and delivered a beautiful 7lb 15oz rosy cheeked beauty. Just as I was due home my baby was taken to Special Care where he was found to have a low blood sugar and a hole in his heart. Still thought I was being punished for not planning him. After 8 months, the hole in his heart had closed, and he is now a robust 10 year old who is a star footballer and never stays still. I can't imagine life without him and his big brother and sister dote on him. I know for some, contraception failure is a nightmare, but in my instance, it was one of the best things to happen to us. My thoughts go out to anybody finding themselves unexpectedly pregnant. Best wishes Carol

Dawn we'll have to think of a catchy name for our group LOL Both my failures were on the same child. He was concieved on xmas night.. result of wee bit too much drink whooppsss hence the visit to A & E boxing morning, once the cold light of day had struck home!!!!!

Dawn, This topic has opened up a can of worms yet again.... There are a reasons why the Pill or Patches might not have of worked, 1 was the lady in question on other medication at the same time, 2 illness can also, have ever slight can reduce the effect of the pill. It`s funny bcause we were only talking about the pill and patches and thier reliability the other day and now this has come up. R.B.

Shelli shall we start a group to sue durex lol mind you my first I was told I couldnt have any children as my body always thought I was pregnant so they gave me vitamins to balance me out and couldnt work out why they made me sick doh morning sickness lol No 2 was contraceptive failure and tiddler I blame Ground Force hubby was watching it and I applied my womanly charms and he could resist and forgot about contraception lol

They refused to sterilise me after twins said i was too young and would regret it!! still might sue Durex for first failure and who ever made the drug for the second failure....... cooooo I could get rich on this one!! PMSL

and mine shelli the mini one though wouldnt part with her though got sterilized soon after lol.

no contraception is 100% fool proof, most are 99% but have never seen one which si 100%. My youngest is here because contraception isn't 100%!!! We used contraception which failed. So bearing in mind i had two yr old twins and had was still suffering the after affects of major bad PND. I decided I couldn't bear to take a chance, so made OH take me to A & E on boxingday morning. And was given morning after pill... but as i said number 3 son is proof contraception isn't 100%. Now he's here wouldn't change him for the world... well most days I wouldn't change him LOL

Lynda I read it on the BBC News website was in Germany I think. Poor baby what will it feel like Hang on think I will sue Durex have one because of them failing

I just read this in the Cyprus Mail -got the impression that the contraceptive was by coil,but as well as the doctor having to pay contributions for the child for the next 16/18 years,he also has to pay contributions to the father of the child to help him pay maintenance costs! How is this child going to come to terms with being so unwanted?

whoooooooooo gosh my nieces got one of them. will have to let her know they are'nt 100% thanks dawn....gwyn xx

It was the Patches placed under the skin

hi dawn would i be right in thinking,that this to be steralisation ?? as i had this done and they said it was'nt 100% gwyn x
