Pregnant - A bit confused!

Hi all

So recently discovered I'm pregnant! Not unwanted but certainly unplanned! I've been doing some googling and I'm a bit confused really so was just wondering what you think

So me and my husband had unprotected sex at the very beginning of my fertile window. We were a bit drunk so ended up not using a condom (irresponsible I know!) and I hadn't checked my period tracker to see when my fertile window was coming up (so that we could avoid it!) but when I checked the next day it said the day we DTD was the day of unprotected sex. I read that even though sperm can live within 5 days it's not THAT common and they usually die within 1 or 2 days? And this has (naughtily) happened before quite a few times but years ago, so I'm thinking that I actually got pregnant the day of ovulation despite using a condom? Was our anniversary, not that it's an excuse when we usually avoid it! But I'm thinking its then? And there was such a small hole, if any, that we didn't see? I have friends this has happened to as well - but they didn't tell me until I told them about this! I think it was then, as I've also been googling and condoms are actually only something like safe 82% of the time!

Just wondering your thoughts, as thought we were pretty safe!

Ps I know when I ovulated so I wasn't early or anything like that

I am pregnant from 6 days before ovulation and I’ve had a chemical pregnancy also 6 days before so in my opinion it is highly likely because I get pregnant so easily. I doubt the condom would fail without you noticing.

@MiEl20 - I just can't for the life of me work or in what it makes any difference and why anyone would care otherwise. You shagged your partner twice in a week, you're now pregnant. You won't know what time it was but as one of those times he wore a condom, it's so much more likely to be the unprotected time which was also during your fertile window.
