How can you get pregnant when you use a condom?

9 Feb, 2010 get pregnant

i know that condoms are effective and all, but how do you get pregnant still? its not like any sperm can just swim through latex. it just doesnt make sense, does it go through the bottom? does it have to break? how?

First off, condoms aren’t effective for preventing pregnancy. I hate that all you young kids think they are. It’s only about 70% effective when used as a contraceptive. That’s why you need another safeguard with it. Anyway, in order to get pregnant there has to be a break or a leak. Some condoms may have a small hole and leak at the tip (not so likely as the small hole will usually cause a break). But no, the sperm can’t swim through the latex, polyurethane or whatever kind of condom you have.

Are you serious? or joking? please tell me you are joking.

NO form of birth control is 100% effective.Latex breaks.

For the people I know who got pregnant when they used a condom- it was because they didn’t put it on at the beginning of sex. If you don’t use it right from the start, small amounts of sperm can still be present and find their way. It can also break, like others have mentioned, but I think most times, people who end up pregnant just put it on right before ejaculation, instead of using it the whole time.

It is more than likely an immaculate conception.
