I just started having sex. We use condoms and when we're finished, we always make sure they are intact. Is it possible to get pregnant even if the condom doesn't break? I know this sounds stupid, I just never thought of it before. I'm not on birth control.

Yes, you can still get pregnant. The best chance is to use a condom and also get on some form of birth control (ie. pill, Depo, sponge, etc.) Go to a Planned Parenthood or if you don't have one around, talk to your parents. A good rule of thumb is if you don' think you can talk to parents, you probably shouldn't be having sex.

Although condoms will aid in your not getting pregnant, they are not fool proof. Nor are IUD's or the pill. When you have sex there is always a risk of getting pregnant. However, it is important when using a condom for the male to withdraw while still somewhat erect to prevent spillage. Sperm are not strong swimmers if deposited around the vaginal opening, probably won't make it to the egg but it only takes one to do the backstroke all the way to the cervix! Also, when using a condom do not use Vaseline. Use products that are recommended for use with condoms. Vaseline will break down the latex.

Unlikely but possible. How do you know the condom won't break or leak. Get on the pill but keep using the condoms - until you are both ready for having kids. There are no stupid questions.

The only way you can get pregnate is if sperm gets on the outside of the condom or if it breaks or come's off. So don't put it on inside out and then turn it around! I would also start on birth control just to be extra cautious.

Anything is possible. I think it's good that you use condoms, continue to use condoms every time. even if you two are "heated and in the moment" it's best to stop and wear protection. If you'd like to be safer, you should get on the pill AND use condoms! Using both is better than using one.

two out of every 100 condoms break. there is a 14% failure rate for regular use but only a 3% failure rate for perfect use. What that means is that out of 100 couples who use a condom fairly consistenly, but arent SUPER careful, 14 will experience pregnancy in a year's time. out of 100 couples who are extra careful, only 3 will get pregnant in a years time.
and then you have my friend who got pregnant even though she was using 3 forms of birth control.
abstinence is the only fail proof method

No you shouldn't get pregnant if he condom doesn't break. Because if your are having prected sex then you shouldn't get pregnant the only time I would say that you can get pregnant is if the condom breaks.

YES!!!!!!!!! I do commend you for using condoms and practising safe sex, but condoms are not 100 percent. It even says so on the box (READ IT). Even if your girlfriend is using the pill there is still a chance of pregnancy. Chance of pregnancy is slim but it can still happen, There is only ONE way to guarantee a pregnancy wont happen Don't have sex.... or get fixed.

Condoms offer a high level of protection. Thats all.
Chances are that you wont get pregnant or catch anything nasty becasue of using them....but it is possible.

maybe if it leaks or overflows:) but other than that yu should be cool, why not double up on birth control and use a contraceptive and condom, yu do not want a child before yu are ready, too many unwanted and neglected children out there.....
