Is it likely I'll be pregnant from out of date condoms?

Please be gentle because I am bricking it. Have name changed so as not to hopefully be connected to my previous posts and outing me! If I am pregnant I'll have enough judgement from real life people.

So basically in the last 2/3 weeks (I think), I have had sex with my dh. Used condoms as only form of protection. It was only upon throwing the packet 2nd packet away that I realised they were 6 months out of date! They were both the same type that had not been purchased since so must have both had the same date. Did not realise they were this old!

I have been really quite tired the last week, and had an achy pelvic area after a long walk earlier. Most likely very coincidental but I am worried as it only took 1 try to conceive both dcs! And they are just 2 and 9 months!

We did always want 3 children most likely, but not like this! I was going to wait until the youngest was at pre school because last time was bloody hard with the 1 year old and newborn.

I don't track my periods since dcs so I'm not even sure when I should worry about taking a test. Probably a couple of weeks until I'm due but I couldn't be sure.

What is the likelihood of getting pregnant like this? From what we can remember the condoms didn't break visibly but we didn't really inspect them.
Please be kind I know I'm a fool Blush

There is only one way to find out I'm afraid.

So your period is due in a couple of weeks? That would leave you in middle of fertile period!

Absolutely gonna have to wait it out I'm afraid. I hope you get the answer you want.
