How safe are condoms in preventing pregnancy?


We are getting married in a month and don't want to get pregnant right away.

I am not worried about STDs, me and my partner are both clean.

I don't want to take any hormone birth control or use a method that would act as an abortion. I just want to know how safe condoms are in regards to pregnancy.

My husband and I have used condoms for 12 years and have only gotten pregnant by choice, not by accident.

wow im suprized u dont kno this...it says right on the box too. 99.9% effective as long as it doesnt break and just make sure u put it on right. make sure theres no air in the condom when its on, /....what i do, i put it on all the way, then i pull some ov it up, cuz it needs a lil space(w/ no air) no hold the ***, about 1 inch long, and make sure it is the right size! not to small, not to big, and make sure its not expireed, and the wraper has to be in good conditioned, it should be to wrinkled! best if its not wrinkled at all. vote mine best.

Condoms alone, as a general rule, aren't enough. You should use another form of birth control in addotion to condoms.

99%

They have about a 20% failure rate.
