Anyone become pregnant when using condoms

My period is a couple of days late and I am panicking. DH and I always use condoms and have only done it about twice during the month. As far as I know condom didn't fail but I am really panicking. This couldn't come at a worse time. I am already under immense stress and going through tests with the hospital for something. Done a pregnancy test this morning which said error, but I don't think I done it right. Going to get another one later but I'm actually shaking thinking of it.

It is possible. even used right condoms are only around 98% effective. so it's possible but it is unlikely. it's more likely the stress is causing your period to act weird.

In relation to the pregnancy test error did you hold it in the stream? I always got error messages when i did that as never could angle it quite right. Get a cap off a hairspray or something cup like (or you can buy urine cups in a pharmacy) and then dip it in instead (check the instructions for how long to dip) and make sure it is kept tip down/flat.

good luck with your hospital tests etc

Thank you @Bells3032
I had a feeling when I had done it, before the results come through, that I had done it wrong. I keep thinking it’s highly unlikely that I will be and it is probably the stress. Thanks again for your message
