Cathy, Anytime you have sex, condom or not, there is a possibility of becoming pregnant. There is a failure rate with condoms. Further, the failure rate of not using a condom is great, regardless of where you might think you are in your cycle. Given the timing of your period, it is not likely you are pregnant this time, but only time will tell. If you are going to continue to have intercourse, get on the pill AND continue to use condoms...
