If so what are the odds?

Lubrication doesn't do a thing to protect against pregnancy...unless you mean it has spermicide. In that case, it might decrease the odds slightly, but not by much.
Condoms have an 85% chance of keeping you from getting pregnant if you use them correctly. Not the 100% you were hoping for, right?

oh definately, you can still get pregnant with any condom. The lubricated part doesn't do anything to prevent against pregnancy, it just help with the action, if you know what i mean.
If you want something to aid more against getting pregnant, try what is called spermicidal. It is a special chemical substance that aids in killing sperm, so any that may stray have a lesser chance of getting to where they are trying to get. :)
the odds of getting pregnant with a lubricated condom are just as high as using any other condom (except for maybe spermicidal).
in the end, just be safe, and always use one!

Since people have already told you of the 15% chance of you getting pregnant, let me make a suggestion: if you ABSOLUTELY want to prevent pregnancy, really the only way to do that is to be abstinent. but what fun is that, right? So double up on the birth control methods...you can use a condom AND pull out...or to be even safer, use the pill and condoms...that way you're doing your best to prevent both pregnancy and disease. Almost worry-free. Woo hoo!

Condoms are 85% effective when used properly, and less than half of condom users know how to use them.
Lube doesn't do anything to the sperm. If you want something to affect sperm, get condoms treated w/ nonoxyl-9, which is a spermicide.
And once again, I vote for a banner that says "WHENEVER YOU HAVE INTERCOURSE THERE IS A CHANCE OF PREGNANCY!" If you're not ready to get pregnant, don't have sex!

yep. The lubrication doesn't have much to do w/ protection. Condoms are better than nothing, but they are not 100% effective, actually chances not very high, but can still happen

Lubricated or not ... read the wrappers ... condoms, while they cut down on the 'possibility' of transmitting an STD or pregnancy, are no guarantee!
P.S.: Condoms do break ... then what?

the odds are the same as any other condom..there is no spermicide in the lubrication

you can get pregnant from almost any condom...it's not a 100 percent guarantee of not getting pregnant.

Yes.. If it breaks..
The odds... I'll go with 30:1. Maybe less, maybe more....
