Birth Control/spermicide

Question
Does using spermicidal condoms affect the pill if you are on it?

Answer
Hi Dave,

I did some research here on the internet and did not find anything about spermicidal condoms and birth control pills causing a problem. The only thing I found out is that spermicidal condoms can cause "irritation due to latex allergy, urinary tract infection, and yeast infection."

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions.
Oh, and I found that information on http://www.christiancontraception.com
I don't particularly endorse this site. It has some good information but I don't agree with all of it.
