Chances of Pregnancy From Backwards Condom Posted: 06-08-06 20:42pm
My girlfriend is currently worried that
she might be pregnant, as she is a few
days late in beginning her period. We
have had a fair amount of sex lately,
which i'm sure is the reason for her
worry, but every time we have any contact,
it is always with a condom. All condoms
were within expiration dates, never broke,
tore, or spilled. The only possible
reason I could imagine that she could have
become pregnant was if I put a condom on
backwards before correcting myself and
wearing it correctly. Which,
unfortunately, I think I did once. I know
that pre-ejactulate can contain sperm and
I know it is more likely to if an
ejactulation has occured beforehand. But
if this occured in our case, what exactly
are the odds of a pregnancy happening with
such a small amount of potentially
dangerous fluid? Assuming she was
ovulating, is such a small amount able to
cause a pregnancy?

Now this may be stupid but I never used a
condom so how do you put it on backwards?

Where it doesn't roll down the right way.
If that makes any sense.. But im not sure
how you got it on if it wasn't the right
way to begin with. If shes already late
by a few days on her period she should
take a test to be sure... Because not one
of us will be able to tell you what the
odds of her being pregnant really are....
Theres always a chance.

Technically?...Yes. Likely?...Not so
much.
I'm sure you are fine, it is more then
likely the stress of being late that is
the cause of actually being late. Take a
deep breath, relax, and go get on the
pill.
Seriously, i'm sure you are fine,
considering that not only does sperm die
almost the instant it hits the air, but
most condoms are lubed up with spermicide.

Thank you all. It doesn't seem likely,
but there is always a chance, so we we're
quite worried. I didn't actually put the
condom on completely backwards, I just
attempted to roll it on backwards before
realizing I was mistaken and then I put it
on correctly. One other thing is that
she's been known to skip periods entirely.
Two months ago, if I remember, her period
never came at all but resumed as normal
the following cycle. So she's not exactly
"regular". Still, she's worried and i've
asked her if she wants to get a test but
she doesn't think they are going to
accurate, especially this early.

When is her period due? If it's late she
can take a test and it should be accurate.
I'm sure she's fine though but maybe she
should test anyway to put her mind at
ease.

She should have started the 5th or 6th.
As far as when exactly I made this error,
it was probably last week, around the 1st
or 2nd.

Then she'll need to wait. You can test
after it's been like 2 weeks. That's
about how long it takes for the pregnancy
hormone to show up.
