Forever and ever I have had a period every thirty days, i am eleven days late and sligtly confused lol. Has anyone on here gotten pregnant while using condoms? And by using condoms I mean we've never had one break/ come off, and we've used one every time.
thanks!

Well, I haven't personally, but a close friend of mine got pregnant while on the pill AND using condoms. A friend's mom experienced a similar double-protection oops. So, it does happen, but it isn't common if you're being careful.

I would be more inclined to look back over the past month and see if you experienced any unusual stress (it doesn't take much!) that may have delayed your ovulation. Illness/injury, moving, more going on at work, etc. can all delay ovulation. It isn't unusual, either, even in women with very consistent cycles, to have an "off" month.

If you are pregnant, then a test should be accurate by now. GL!

I haven't but it happens, even with perfect use every time. 11 days late = time to test for me.

still no af! I also ate half of the food in my fridge today lol: I need to get a stick to pee on but I know right after I go buy one af will start. I'm going to go see if the dollar store has any tests wish me luck: Although now Ive been thinking about it (kinda been forced to lol) and I don't think this would be that bad of a time to be preg and then my darling niece would have someone to play with lol....

I remember it happened to a woman in my college dorm. Nothing is 100%. Even abstinence didn't work for one woman.

I took a test and it had a line but barely, i had to hold it in the light to see it at all, I'm going to take another one in the morning. (I wish I could just know, I'm going to be going crazy until I find out!) I'll tell you all what it says tomarrow.
oh and how much of a line does there need to be? Thanks!!!!!

A line is line, I think you're pregnant! Congrats!

My test with DD was only a faint line, could barely see it, but it was there.

Virgin Mary aside, I actually do have a friend who got pg w/o actually having sex. They were messing around and apparently it just got to close, there was 0 penetration. That was a scary one for me, I was much more careful after that

Wow, you are lucky! (well, in my view at least)

My husband and I used nothing but condoms for over 2 years, and I didn't get pregnant. Now we've been using *nothing* for 3 months and I still haven't gotten pregnant.

Hope everything works out for the best for you!

Well I hope you bought a 3 pack, as that way, you have one left and can do it one more time without distractions!
