you can conceive a child, not receive, well, then again....lol
sorry, All joking aside...
If there is any flaw in the condom you can still conceive, improper use can cause pregnancy, and any other mishaps.
So,you might want to back it up with a cream or foam just in case.

The effectiveness of condoms, as of most forms of contraception, can be assessed two ways: method effectiveness and actual effectiveness. The method effectiveness is the proportion of couples correctly and consistently using the method who do not become pregnant. Actual effectiveness is the proportion of couples who intended that method as their sole form of birth control and do not become pregnant; it includes couples who sometimes use the method incorrectly, or sometimes not at all. Rates are generally presented for the first year of use. Most commonly the Pearl Index is used to calculate effectiveness rates, but some studies use life tables.
For all forms of contraception, actual effectiveness is lower than method effectiveness, due to several factors:
mistakes on the part of those providing instructions on how to use the method
mistakes on the part of the method's users
conscious user non-compliance with method.
For instance, someone using oral forms of hormonal birth control might be given incorrect information by a health care provider as to the frequency of intake, or by mistake not take the pill one day, or simply not bother to go to the pharmacy on time to renew the prescription.
The method failure rate of condoms is 2% per year. The actual pregnancy rates among condoms users vary depending on the population being studied, with rates of 10-18% per year being reported.

You should be able to take the Pill even if you periods are irregular. In fact, the Pill is often prescribed to *treat* irregular periods.

Yes it is slightly possible- condoms only offer about a 98% chance of effectiveness. It is best to have a backup plan, although it is very very unlikely to get pregnant from using a condom.

You can get pregnant if there is a slight hole in condom or if some of the sperm drips out into you when he's taking it off. Just be careful. You can also use spermicide with it which would kill the sperm in case it did get through. Good luck.

Conceive a child? Yes, there could be a tiny hole in the condom.

well, if you are using condoms, then it is very unlikely that you will become pregnant.
