The most common cause of pregnancy when using condoms is improper use, either due to lack of education or for other reasons. When used properly, condoms are rather effective. Another method whose safety approaches that of oral contraceptives is cervical mucus tracking. But this also requires education. The method is also not suitable for all women and lifestyles. In one study[1], around 5% of prospective participants had to be excluded due to irregular menstrual cycle. Dropout rate due to dissatisfaction or for other reasons was 9.2%. Also note that with IUDs there can be spontaneous expulsion, and there are health risks associated with it. So while very good compared to other methods, they are not best in all categories.
