Has anyone got pregnant from using conforms before? They were used properly and didn't break or anything. Just abit worried as I'm almost a week late. I did a test but it was just a cheapy one that my friend had spare and it was negative. Please put my mind at ease and tell me no one has gotten pregnant using a condom!

Well with perfect use condoms are 98% effective so there’s always a chance.

I’m afraid no-one can tell you. I would buy a pregnancy test and do another - if you’re a week late then the result should be accurate.

Hope you get the result you want.

I have a beautiful boy, condoms have a relatively high failure rate the doctor was not surprised the condom had failed at all.

I did.
The only 100% effective contraception is abstenance. Anything else there is always a small possibility

If 100 people used condoms perfectly for 1 year, two of the 100 people would become pregnant. 98% effective meaning 2% not. Hope you get the best outcome for you. Take a better test.
