No breaks, no leaks, no precum...

Can you still get pregnant if the condom had no precum on it, didn't have any breaks, rips or splits, and did not leak or spill?

Thanks.

No. Or at least, no in laboratory conditions. Because obviously you can’t get pregnant if there’s no sperm to get you pregnant. However sperm are microscopic, so whilst you may be convinced there’s no precum on the outside of the condom, there may well be. Basically, if you’ve had sex, even with contraception, there’s always a chance of pregnancy.

More info via Planned Parenthood: If you use condoms perfectly every single time you have sex, they’re 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. But people aren’t perfect, so in real life condoms are about 85% effective — that means about 15 out of 100 people who use condoms as their only birth control method will get pregnant each year.

Highly unlikely. Why do you ask? Do you have a reason to doubt the intentions of the man you're sleeping with?

No form of contraception is 100%.

Check the nhs website. I think the stats are around 98% effective, so two people per hundred end up pregnant while using condom properly.

Yes.

But if you’re late and you haven’t taken a test, have you been vaccinated? AZ can cause periods to be temporarily late/missing/changed.

Is some lady trying to "pin a child on you" when you feel 100% it cant be yours?

Yep, condoms are not 100% effective. The only 100% effective forms of contraception are sterilisation (and even that can be a bit dodgy sometimes) and abstinence.

OP what’s going on?

Is somebody’s period just late and there’s a worry? Is someone potentially pretending to be pregnant when they may not be?

If you tell us the situation it might help us make suggestions?

I appreciate the concern, didn't think of all the things people would think of when I asked this. I am married to my husband and we are looking for more info on all forms of contraception. It's looking like (for various reasons) condoms are are only choice for the time being (I've just had our third child and we will probably do a vasectomy soon).

I have huge issues trusting any form of contraception. Just wanting to see if I can reassure myself. We always use a condom insanely safely but I can't stop worrying to the point where we aren't having intercourse at the moment. My husband is a saint but I don't want to be this limited forever.

Thanks for the help. x

But you can't guarantee no breaks, no leaks etc

Vasectomy?

Yes.

Even with perfect use, the fail rate The fail rate for the male condom is 2% (which means for 100 couples using them perfectly, there would be two pregnancies in that group in a year).

The typical use fail rate is 18%
