My parents don't talk about any of that stuff. They don't even know we're TTC... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-538025 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:50:56 +0000 banana 538025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine got pregnant and she was on the pill.

I WOULD DIE! Actually I envy you, I wish my family talked about that stuff more. I am fine talking about period stuff and infertility stuff but my family like goes bananas if I mention any of it. I guess we are just a family of awkward diddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-537984 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:04:32 +0000 Arden 537984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Ha, we're a very open family. We've always talked about sex in a very normal way, since we were kids. I found a sex toy in my parent's nightstand once, and it barely phased me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-537983 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:03:12 +0000 anonysquire 537983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Barf! I guess I am just weird, but I don't want to know what my parents do! Actually that probably means I'm immature haha. I once found hemorrhoid cream in one of my parents drawers and that was traumatic enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-537977 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:22 +0000 Arden 537977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Haha! We actually gave my parents all our condoms when we started TTC. We said "here, now you don't have to buy any for awhile". My parents were like "Oh cool. Thanks." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-537976 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:09 +0000 Bao 537976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@adnama: ahhh me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-537974 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:55:12 +0000 anonysquire 537974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: *plugs ears* LALALALALALA.

I thought of it more as 'discouraging' pregnancy than full on preventing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-537227 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:20:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 537227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: In fact withdrawl is one of the least effective methods. </p> <p>That's why they call it pull and pray :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-537048 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:33:42 +0000 ValentineMommy 537048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also know someone who got pregnant using BC AND condoms! It can happen!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536882 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:42:05 +0000 Mrs. Train 536882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@adnama: yeah, withdrawal really is not the greatest birth control. I know lots of people who said it was just fine but I used to teach sex ed. It's just not effective with pre ejaculate and human error. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536868 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:36:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 536868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: No way.. all the hormonal methods are way more effective... the pill, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536860 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:33:36 +0000 betsyboop 536860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hasn't happened to me but my best friend got pregnant while she was on BC AND they used a condom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536853 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:31:22 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 536853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: yikes.. that makes me question withdrawal as our method!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536811 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:18:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 536811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never happened to me! And for the last 8 years it's been my parents BC! and my sister's for the last 4 years... </p> <p>eek!!! do you already have an LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536804 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:15:09 +0000 prettylizy 536804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very interested to see how this turns out. I always think of 'correct' condom use as the safest thing next to abstinence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536791 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:08:09 +0000 photojane 536791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty uncommon to get pregnant with proper condom use, which it sounds like you're good about.</p> <p>About a year after getting married we switched to using condoms (the pill I was using was too expensive on our new insurance). Last August I was certain I was pregnant even with condom use, because like you I had an EXTREMELY predictable cycle and my period was super late. I did a ton of research and found very few instances of pregnancy with proper condom use - I think they're something like 99% effective. I wasn't pregnant and never had a period that month. There were no reasons for me to miss a period... just a weird month! It never happened before, and hasn't happened since (until I was actually pregnant, that is!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536769 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:56:25 +0000 Mrsbells 536769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: This is how I got pregnant too. we only used condoms. Even when used correctly they are only about 97 to 98% effective, and there are lots of little mistakes that people make when handling condoms that decrease their effectiveness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536756 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:51:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 536756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Haha, well like I said there was "one time" and we know it just takes "one time". But honestly, I believe it was the condoms because I was still spotting that day and there was no way I was ovulating around that time (I had a regular cycle). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536682 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:26:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 536682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: oh geez! that's our BC method of choice at the moment. lol. DH would KEEEEEL me if I got pregnant! obviously we know there's always that chance, but he's still overwhelmed by newborn-ness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536667 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:23:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 536667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Yea, my husband jokes that I must have put a pin hole in the condom but I swear I didn't. We weren't NTNP (because we were using protection) but I had gone off the pill after we got married and we were talking about kids so we both were ready and very excited to get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-here-gotten-pregnant-while-using-condoms-with-no-incidents#post-536602 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:03:43 +0000 Mrs. Train 536602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is a list of efficacy of all different birth control methods. It compares both the "average user" rates and with completely correct usage.
