Yes. As stated earlier, no contraceptive is 100% effective.
A condom can split. Also, if the man does not withdraw straight after ejaculation and before the penis goes very soft, then the sperm can seep out of the condom and go do what they are intended to do!

YES, you can get pregnant even if you use a condom, and even if it doesn't break.
Condoms are very effective when used correctly--but many people don't use them correctly. Mistakes include:
*Not leaving a space at the tip of the condom or not removing air from the tip of the condom
* Not holding the base of the condom during withdrawal
* Unrolling the condom before putting it on
* Started having sex, then put on the condom during intercourse
* Reused a condom
*putting a condom on inside out and then flipping it over
According to the Mayo Clinic, 14 out of 100 couples who misuse a condom will be welcoming a new member of their family. The pregnancy rate for NOT misusing a condom is 3 out of every 100 couples.

According to certain statistics it is said that there are 4% chances that condoms might not really help in contraception. This happens if there is a tear, rupture or slip off. Also the condoms are made of latex rubber which hold the semen and prevent it from getting transferred. But it is in rare cases that the sperm size is smaller than the size of the pore in the condom and it might get transferred.

i would say alot is over looked when it comes to condom use. but it is certain that brand type and reliability should be consider.condoms a are a product, like any other product they suffer malfunction and error.despite that there is great control in its production think of it as a paratute some times it doesn't open.so yes you can get pregnant even if the condom doesn't break.after all its not 100% protective.

There is a small chance. With the little piece of paper that comes in the boxes of condoms, it will tell you the failure rate. If you use two methods, such as a condom and a Today Sponge, there is zero chance of becoming pregnant.

Latest statistics suggest that the male condom is 98% effective in preventing pregnancy and the female condom 95%.

You can get pregnant with anything really, I´m almost 20 weeks pregnant and I was on the injection when I conceived. Nothing is 100 % safe. My mom was sterilised before she had me 22 years ago, it was medically impossible for her to ever fall pregnant again....
The pill, injection and condoms only helps but not prevent 100 %....

Condoms arent 100% effective but it is very likely that you aren't pregnant.
If you wanted to be more protected you could go on the pill and use a condom.

It's very doubtful that you could become pregnant unless yous had sex before he put the condom on and maybe leaked a bit, otherwise i very much doubt it. You also need to be ovulating to become pregnant, which means should be 14-18 days after your last period.
