My boyfriend and I had protected sex...I was wondering how safe are condoms??? Is there a possibility that I might be pregnant? I get my period this coming weekend (hopefully).

Condoms are about 85% effective in preventing pregnancy. Meaning for every 100 couples who use them, 15 women will get pregnant.
It's because people don't store them properly, don't put them on at the right time, don't remove them properly, and breakages, etc.
Sex is for making babies, so if you're going to have it, you need to come to terms with the fact that eventually it will result in a baby.
But if you're using them properly I highly doubt you are pregnant.

Condoms are considered to be 85 to 89% effective. That means you have about a 12 out of 100 chance of getting pregnant. It is also recommended that you combine the condom with another form of birth control to be safe. Here is a chart that would be good to check out:

Good luck.

yes depending on the condom that you used and how did you use it,you should have blown the condom first and test it if theres a leak on it cause it only take a few drop of your bf seemen to impregnate you,its not good enough to get a condom from the package and put it on thats borderline recklessness,next time always blow the condom for leaks before putting it on and use it

If you use condoms right and put them on before you start "fooling around" they work. I've used only condoms for over 5 years and never had an accident.

Every person with common sense knows that condoms are not 100% effective!

Its great that you are using condoms, but isn't oral contraceptives more reliable?
