Research has been done to assess the lowest expected and typical percentage of accidental pregnancy (in the US) during the first year of using a variety of birth control methods.
The typical percentages of accidental pregnancy during the first year of use is as follows for commons methods:
Chance (85%)
Spermicides (21%)
Periodic Abstinence (20%)
Withdrawal (18%)
Cap (18%)
Sponge (18-28%)
Diaphragm (18%)
Condom (12%)
UDI (3%)
Pill (3%)
Injectable Progestogen (0.3-0.4)
Implants (0.04-0.03)
Female Sterilization (0.4)
Male Sterilization/Vasectomy (0.15)
These numbers are best guesses by researchers in the field and include a number of caveats, but serve to illustrate the relative risk of pregnancy with alternative forms of birth control.
Houston Vasectomy Clinic specializes in a safe, effective, and quick procedure that will give you piece of mind. Vasectomy is a time-tested procedure that millions of American men have undergone in the privacy and comfort of a medical clinic that allows them to worry less about pregnancy and enjoy sex more with their wife.

A new diagnostic device is designed to test sperm count for men after a vasectomy. At the Houston Vasectomy Clinic, we strongly recommend to our patients that they perform a series of checks after a vasectomy to make sure there is no sperm left in your “tubes”.
ContraVac’s new “SpermCheck Vasectomy” test confirms men’s post-vasectomy sterility at home versus returning to a clinic or lab and should be available in Summer 2008.
SpermCheck is the first easy-to-use diagnostic device with the specificity and sensitivity to detect the low numbers of sperm present immediately after vasectomy.
The Houston Vasectomy Clinic requires two post-vasectomy sperm tests to make sure the procedure was effective at blocking all sperm at the vas deferens.

The Houston Vasectomy Clinic specializes in vasectomy, a simple medical procedure that allows men to put behind them concerns about pregnancy. Vasctomy is an in-office procedure that blocks the flow of sperm from the testicles to the vas deferens. Without sperm being able to enter a man’s ejaculate, pregnancy is impossible.
Vasectomy does not affect the production of testosterone, the male sex hormone. Men that have undergone a vasectomy do not sound, act, or feel different than any other men. The only difference is that they are able to enjoy sex with their partner without concerns about pregnancy. These men still grow hair on their chest, have a desire for sex, and their same voice.
