Is It Possible that I may be Pregnant even if I used a condom w/ spermicide?


OK Girlz, 16 days a go I had my cycle and saturday my ovaries were bothering me so I knew I was ovulating. Then Labor Day Monday I notice that I was spotting and today is thursday and Im still spotting. It is light in color. I know it is not a uti, bacterial vaginosis or tricamosis. I use condoms w/ spermicide all the time. My husband is frecking out. I LOL and tell him we have been careful, but now Im a little bi nervous. So girls give me an imput. im giving it a few more days to see what happends then I will call the dr for advice. I can't belive even useing a condom w/ spermicide cant even protect you from getting preg. LOL that will be the first if I happend to get pregnant due to weak spermicidel agent. LOL. Thanks in advance.

Spotting can occasionally occur after ovulation. If you think you were ovulating around Saturday and the spotting started on Monday then this is possible.

I would say it's more unlikely for a spermicidal condom to fail than a standard condom, due to it being both a physical and a chemical barrier to sperm. However, if your period is late, the bleeding gets heavier or you start to get a fever or pain, then I would visit your Doctor asap.

Wishing you lots of luck.

It is always possible. I would take a home test and get it over with. You could be pregnant and having spotting (unlikely)
Sounds like something else is going on l would see a ob-gyn

Did you change brands of condoms? Could be an allergic reaction to latex or the spermicide. Also, Could be a tear in the vaginal wall from the condom rubbing or lack of lubrication. Could be pregnancy, but you didn't say the condom broke (so probrobly not).

Maybe you should look up contraception on the internet and get some numbers. You could very well be pregnant. Condoms are not a very reliable method of birth control if that's all you're using.

yes it's definitely possible

ya u iz pregnant u kno who yo baby daddy be?

It is possible. I got pregnant with my third daughter while I was on the pill and we used a condom. She is my miracle child:) Anything is possoble!!!

There is NO 100% reliable contraceptive although condoms used with spermicide are very effective.

Try a home pregnancy test if enough time has elapsed or get a blood test from the doctor.

Where there's a will there's a way. In other words, if you are meant to be pregnant, you're going to be.

NO method of birth control is 100% effective 100% of the time. It is just a simple fact of life.

I'm sure if you were to read all the clinical data that is included with the condom box (usually printed inside), you will find that there is an "efficacy rating" meaning that in one year, if 100 (or sometimes listed as 1000) couples use this method consistently and EXACTLY like they're supposed to, a certain number (I don't know the exact number on this one) will end up pregnant.

Wait till your next period is due then take a test....Good luck.

I got pregnant off a toilet seat.
