what the chances of getting pregnant if you only use condoms and no birth control?

Condoms *are* birth control.  Used correctly every time, they have a very high success rate--95-98%, one of the highest of any method.  They're reversible (no ill effects to your system if/when you want to get pregnant) and there's no danger of long term side effects (and we can't really say that about the Pill, IUD, depo-provera, etc.)  They can also protect you against STDs.  I think one (perhaps the only) benefit of the AIDS crisis is that condoms are probably more reliable than in the past.  Make sure you check that they haven't expired and don't store them in the heat.  Some lubricants can break down the rubber.  There is always some risk in sexual activity.  (As you can tell, I think there's risk in using some of the other methods of birth control too.)  If you can't take the risk (of a pregnancy/abortion and other consequences), then perhaps you shouldn't have sex.

"Consistent use of condoms provides protection from HIV. The level of protection approximates 87%, with a range depending upon the incidence among condom nonusers. Thus, the condom's efficacy at reducing heterosexual transmission may be comparable to or slightly lower than its effectiveness at preventing pregnancy." \n\n" the chance that HIV will be transmitted during a single unprotected sexual act is much lower -- ranging from 1 chance in 500 for vaginal sex to 3 chances in 100 for anal sex -- than the risk that a single act of unprotected vaginal sex will lead to pregnancy. "\n\nAlso;\n\n"The use of a spermacide can make sex with condoms even safer. Laboratory studies have shown that one spermacide, nonoxynol-9, effectively kills all of the HIV that is present in a condom."

That would happen to me every once in a while..no idea why (probably because of lack of lubrication/friction) but I was on the pill and didn't use a condom or anything.  Now that I'm off the pill, we use condoms that are lubricated and it hasn't happened to me since.  Condoms are so nice =)

Yes. If you have sex and don't use a legitimate method of birth-control (breastfeeding does not fall into this category) you can always get pregnant.

I would say a fifty fifty chance. I know two people that got pregnant on the pill. one took antibiotics while on the pill and got pregnant the other forgot ONE pill and got pregnant. I also have a friend that got pregnant on the depo- provera shot.  She did not use protection the first week like she was supposed to and got pregnant.

NO, theres like a 97% that you won't get a disease, but a condom does at certain point protect you, but the only way to prevent every sex involved disease is to stay sex free.

Yes, you can get an STD.  There are some STD's that are out there that do not require gential contact.  Condoms give a false sense of security.  Be careful!

Well of course!  Unprotected sex even if the male does not ejaculate in your body can lead to pregnancy!\n\nThere is always a chance some sperm could have leaked out in you.

If it's in the middle of your pack, then the likelihood of getting pregnant is VERY low. If it's at the beginning or end of your pack, the chances are higher. If you're more than 12 hours late in taking it and it's from the beginning or end of your pack, you should continue taking them as normal but use a condom for the next 7 days.

Ha ha Sweetmama now that is FUNNY!!!! LMAO!!! If this were my question you would definitely get the 10!!! \n\nYes I do use condoms.  It is better without them, but safer with them.  I have not always, and I have a 7 year old to prove it.  Its not horrible to not use them but its just a chance that you choose whether or not to take.  Its all a matter of trust.

types of birth control and your chances of getting pregnant\n\n-no birth control(85%)\n\n-spermicides alone(26%) spermicide usualy looks like a small pill, but its a substance that when put into your vagina will melt and become effective\n\n-periodic abstinance(25%) this is when you count the days between your periods and find out which ones youre not fertil on\n\n-withdrawl(19%) this is when the man pulls out right before he goes\n\n-cervical cap w/ spermicide(20-40%) this is a small rubber thing that looks like a cap that you fill with spermicide and place into your vagina\n\n-vaginal sponge(20-40%) this is a sponge you place into your vagina that is supposed to catch the sperm once it has entered\n\n-diphragm w/ spermicide(20%) much like the cap\n\n-condom alone (male)(14%) the rubber condom a man wears\n\n-condom alone (female)(21%) this condom goes into a girl rather than onto a guy\n\n-oral contaceptives(5%) this is the pill, you will usually take one a day, or with some new ones, one a week\n\n-IUD(less than 1-2%) this is something your gyno will have to place inside of you\n\n-injection(less than 1%) a shot you give yourself, usually once every 3 months\n\n-sterallization(less than 1%) a medical procedure that makes you infertil...this is permanent\n\n-nuvaring(1-2%) this is a small vaginal ring that you place into your vagina once a month and it releases hormones the way the pill would\n\nbut, no form of birth control can prevent STD...condoms do help so ALWAYS wear one unless youve both been tested, but know that they still can be obtained if a condom is being used.  also, if you are planning on getting on birth control talk to you gynocologist and ask him/her which one is best for you!

I assume it's DeproVera, which is very effective.  Also, because she was on her period, the chances fall even further to probably almost 0%.  But, no matter how safe you are, there is still an itty bitty chance.  Good job on using condoms and a contraceptive, though.

if it breaks, then it's the same risk of not even using one. Using petroleum based lubricants like vaseline, baby oil,some of those exotic massage oils, etc will weaken the condom and increase the chances it will fail.\ncheck out Planned Parenthood. lots of good info and they are confidential.

even on the pill and using condoms you can still get pregnant and std's (herpes, warts)\n\n(the pill does not start working for at least a month)

Yes.  No contraception is 100%.

Chances are low, I have personally never heard of it happening, although it could happen. \nI would be more concerned with STD's with condom breakage.
