Newly inserted IUD and spermicide

Sorry, I know I've probably been asking way too many questions about this but, here's another one.

I don't think I'm going to feel totally at ease with this IUD until my follow up appointment so I will be using a backup method until then. If I use a spermicidal gel, will it attract germs and stick to the strings and then crawl into the uterus and possibly cause an infection? I know I'm worrying way too much but I just want to be really safe.

Thank you.
