I made an appointment with my gynecologist, but that won't be until another 3 weeks from now so I figured I would ask here for other people's experiences.

According to the Mayo Clinic when using condoms more than 1 out of 50 couples will become pregnant in a year even when using condoms correctly. That is too much of a risk for me. For the IUD it is less than one percent. It may not sound like it, but that is a big difference to me.
