Are condoms trustworthy?

I think that they are about 99% reliable but there is a small chance that they might not work.
 
That's a VERY small chance. But if you're worried about it then why not think about going on the pill as well!? It will regulate your periods and stop you from getting pregnant. The only thing is that it doesn't prevent diseases so... be careful to use condoms as well unless you are in a long term relationship with someone.

So i should be ok then? He used it properly, i was just worrying because the last thing i want is to be pregnant, and im now a bit late for the morning after pill. I will just have to wait until my next period is due and see if it comes on time. I read that you have to wait until your next period for pregnancy tests to be accurate is this true?
 
I heard condoms are 97% trustworthy. There could always have been a hole in the condom or it could have torn while you were having sex, but that would be bothering you with unneeded worry, but that doesn't happen that often. Your chances of not being pregnant are still very good. I don't know much about pregnancy, seeing how I've never been pregnant, but I think you get morning sickness like a week after or something. So, I dunno you might know soon if you start throwing up every morning.
 
If you want to go on the pill,you should visit your GP or a sexual health clinic,they'll give you the best advice.The only sure way not to get pregnant is to abstain but if you used the condom properly,you should be fine..... :: tu ::

good because he was so not a nice person.
 
im sure you will be ok hun...just be thankful you did use one 🙁
as i did the stupid thing.. but at least if i get pregnant the baby will have a famous dad...but being serious condoms are very reliable if used properly so it sounds like you will be ok.

*hugs*
 
I once saw this documentary on how they make condows at Durex... yes, I have too much time on my hands... all condoms get tested in three different ways before getting packed. If only one of them is wrong, the whole party of that day is destroyed... I'd say you're pretty safe.
 
I hope my lil comment in another thread didn't start that..I guess the best way is to be on pills and use condoms aswell...

i'm not planning on doing it again any time soon, i'm waiting until i find someone that respects me for who i am and not for what i can give them.

would you keep it then if you got pregnant? ::mmm::
 
Happy bout that...and it's better to be paranoid bout pregnancy than actually discover that you're pregnant later..
 
I'm sure you'll be fine, how often do you hear about condoms failing (or should I say compare it to how many times you hear about it working). But in future take the pill as well.

Plus theres that man pill thing coming out, that scares me. I just dont see how it will work.

Yes i would!! ive talked about it in another thread about me not being able to get pregnant...then i did fall pregnant but had a miscarriage...so if i became pregnant i would keep it as to me it would be a sign that it was meant to happen..i wouldnt just keep it because of who its dad is but because i dont want to give up the oppurtunity of having a child...also i kinda know that i will see him again..if he didnt like me he wouldnt have told me where he lives or given me his phone number or replied to my text message...right??

Also just thought i would mention..how weird is this.. when i went to the pub to meet this guy my ex boyfriend was there who i was with for 2 years and i havent seen him for two years and he's the one i fell pregnant with..and he asked me out for a drink...then when he asked what i was doing there i couldnt help but tell him...i think he was a bit jealous lol..serves him right...the thing is i still have feelings for my ex and now he's texting me aswell but our relationship ended badly..so my head is a complete mess and i dont know what to do.

God why does life have to be so hard and hurtful hey? It's up to you what you feel is right for you. But if you are pregnant, i dont think your ex will be too pleased about it.

Im not to worried he treated me like crap at the time anyway but i guess its because he was the first guy i was ever in love with...but id rather be with the other guy anyway 😀 although we deserve better...and there are a lot of good guys out there...we just obviously attract the wrong type..i think in my case im going to try and be more confident with myself and tell myself i deserve better!! maybe you should to hun 😀

oh yes, have decided to either abstain from men for a while, or go for it with the other guy i've like for a long time. All depends on how he feels about me, but i know he's one of the good guys, cos ive known him for so long. 😎
 
Rach in Friends said they were 0only 97% affective! Yet, other say they are only 95%. Either way I think they are going to be AT LEAST 90% effective either way!
