Talk:Lea's Shield

Proposed Infobox for individual birth control method articles
Let's all work on reaching a consensus for a new infobox to be placed on each individual birth control method's article. I've created one to start with on the Wikipedia Proposed Infoboxes page, so go check it out and get involved in the process. MamaGeek (Talk/Contrib) 12:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Failure rates
I think that the failure rates don't agree with the bibliography avalaible, wich points more towards 15 %. I have serious doubts about the failure rates associated with Lea's shield. I've read the FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness (http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf/P010043b.pdf) and they talk about 9% and 14% rates (with and without spermicide). In fact, the low indexes I have found are at http://www.contraceptiononline.org/contrareport/article01.cfm?art=210, and they talk about 4 and 6%, but correcting the statistics because of a supposed bias associated with few nulliparous users. Anyway, it seems that till now the data is scarce, so if we choose to say 4% I would add a note about low sample used. --213.194.135.44 15:21, 5 August 2006 (UTC)saragc

pregnancy rate" rather than "failure rate"
Note discussion at Talk:Birth control re replacing occurrences of "failure rate" with "pregnancy rate". I would also like to see the same change on this page. Please make any comments there. --Coppertwig 04:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
