Hi, I was wondering if I should worry if on day 9 I may have gotten pregnant because of the condom leaking from the bottom. It did not break, but was extra tight at the top and there seemed to be fluid near the base and so I was worried, but not even sure if the fluid was sperm. It just seemed more than usual. I m not even sure if a condom can leak from the bottom if it is on tight. My cycle is a 28 day cycle. Thanks. Corrine
Dear Corrine, When your menstrual cycle is of 28 days, day 9 of the cycle is just on the borderline of fertile window. Anyway, safe period is indeed not a very safe method of contraception. Moreover, the condom has leaked. Leaked out fluid does have sperms in it. So there are good possibilities of conception. Covering this intercourse with post-coital emergency contraceptive would have been safer. Now you can confirm the pregnancy status by
