Is it possible to get pregnant using condoms?

[iiTTCii]

I had the implant removed in May, ready for ttc in December. During my fertile period this month, we were using condoms and I didn't notice that they split etc.
I'm now 5 dpo and I'm having terrible period type cramps, which I remember having when I was pregnant with my LO. I know its early to start worrying.. But I assumed that I would be fine using condoms. Has anyone heard of anyone getting pregnant whilst using condoms?

If they split they can't count as protection - they are 95-98% reliable when used correctly, but if they split? That's a much lower percentage chance.

I'd recommend waiting til AF is due and testing lovely x

I got pregnant using a condom. It didn't break or slip or anything, it just must have failed. My goodness was I surprised when CD40 arrived with no AF, lol! I hope that this turns out the way that you want it to

That doesn't make sense. Viruses are smaller than sperm so, if sperm can get through, so can viruses. Is she sure she got that quite right? Yikes.

Condoms are 98% effective against pregnancy when used correctly.

But a lot of things can go wrong. They need to fit, you always need to ensure the air is rolled out while applying, no sharp nails, only use it once, keep a grip on the base until safe removal. A few others I think too.

They are still the most effective against STIs
