Does condoms matter on Fertility days?

My boyfriend and I had sex on one of my fertile days with protection but I'm not on birth control anymore and they usually say that condoms can't be fully effective. I know I still have a while before I find out since it was just recently but can it be possible to get pregnant with a condom while fertile?

Hi April,

Unfortunately no method of contraption is 100% effective but some are more so than others. We have an online guide to the different methods and their efficacy which might be useful: bpas.org/js/filemanager/fil...

Condoms are around 82% effective when typically used, so while it is possible to conceive while using them they do provide relatively good contraceptive cover. If your period is delayed you should take a pregnancy test, but there may be nothing to worry about.

I hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Best wishes,

Katherine
