yep, if it splits, or if he puts it on after you have started as some seminal fluid can still leak out before.

They are about 97% effective so there is a chance that you can. If the condom has a minute hole, slips off or is put on after preejaculate, you certainly can get pregnant.
Many people have gotten pregnant while using condoms mostly because of misuse.
If you are worried, use another form of birth control with the condom such as a spermicide, or the pill.

If the condom splits or there is ANY chance of leakage then yes. Condoms are not often the best thing to use, especially alone. I'd recommend using another form of contraception with them.
There are lots of different forms of contraception, just visit your local family planning clinic and discuss whats best for you.
Don't rely on a condom alone.

I have a friend who is 19 and not ready for a baby. She was on birth control and used a condom and got pregnant. Nothing is certain. Maybe abstinance is the best if you aren't sure about these things.

Yes you can. Read the condom boxes, they are typically only 96-99% effective. To increase the effectiveness of the condom, you can also use spermicide to prevent pregnancy.

Yes, the only 100% way to not become pregnant is abstinence. Condoms may break, leak or come off. For more information go to your local planned parenthood.

you can get pregnant, you can get HIV, you can get herpes...all sorts of nice things that don't go away.
Condoms aren't "safe" sex, they're just "safer" sex.
If you use only condoms as birth control make sure they have spermicide lubricant and are fresh and not kept in a wallet.
Even when used in a perfect situation condoms have a 15% failure rate...that means 15 women out of 100 still get pregnant.
It's best to use them in addition to other methods of birth control.

YES! It states right on the package that NO birth control is 100% effective (only complete abstinence). Just don't do it during your "fertile" time if you are questioning it. (2 weeks before or 2 weeks after your period--I like to use the "10 days before or 10 days after my period is a very fertile time.) And that is because I have 4 year old twins! Good luck.

Yes. The condom can break, and condoms are also porous (sheep skin condoms being more porous than latex). If you read the label on the condom package, they are only 99% effective.

Yes. Abstinence is the only 100% effective way not to get pregnant.
Good luck!

yes, the condom can tear and sometimes it can come off completely and you never even realize
