are condoms safe?

Fr

so i’ve just recently started to be sexually active, I have used condoms with my partner every single time but I am still scared of getting pregnant. I really wanna go on the pill just to be safe but I can’t at the moment because I dont have health insurance and its just really expensive. so here’s my question, do u guys think i will get pregnant if i just use condoms? i know i’m probably just being a little paranoid lol

Slim chances. But I’m here because a condom and spermicide weren’t enough to stop the sperm from fertilizing the egg... 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you use them effectively, you should be fine (98-99%). However, knowledge is also power. Learn your body’s signals. Track your period, track your ovulation, monitor any discharge. If you notice really clear, egg white like discharge, for your own peace of mind, you could avoid even protected sex at this time and hope you’ve missed your fertile window. :)

If they don’t break, they are 98% effective.My husband and I have only ever used condoms for 3 years and I’ve never been pregnant or even had a pregnancy scare.

Then you either need to get on birth control or stop having sex...

It all depends on how well you use them. Use them just as the box says and you're most likely fine.if you're worried though you can always try a local clinic or planned Parenthood for birth control so you'll have 2 methods

i’ve tried them, it’s just still really expensive because I don’t have health insurance
