Fertile Question

Ok, so if I am tracking my fertility online, which I don't even know if it's accurate or not, but I am just curious...If it says I am fertile, are condoms still as effective? If nothing went wrong with the condom, no breakage, nothing...Should I more than likely be ok? I got my period on the 19th of May, and it ended on the 23rd and then I had sex once on the 29th...So is this still sort of in the "safe" zone, right after my period? I am sure it is ok but I just want to know if condoms are still effective even if you are considered fertile..Should it make a huge difference? Please ease my mind if at all possible. Thanks.

Condoms prevent the transmission of fluids, so as long as no fluid leaks out the bottom of the condom, and the condom doesn't break, then they are still as effective during your more fertile times as they are in your less fertile times.

Well I realized I got some of my info wrong and wanted to correct it. I had sex on the 28th, Sudnay, not the 29th...It probably isn't a huge difference but I still thought I'd correct it. Also, the whole tracking my fertility online..I don't ever type in anything except the date of my last period. No more information than that so I don't really think it could be accurate, plus I only tried to do it for the last 2 or so cycles...And also, one thing I didn't mention was that in April I took Plan B and it threw my whole cycle off I am sure..So should I really be flipping out thinking I was SO fertile on these days...Or do you honestly think it should be ok? Because I know most of the people I know never pay any midn to their "fertile" days or whatnot and they seem to be safe, as long as they use condoms..So honestly, do you think I should be ok?? Thanks so much I really appreciate it. Sorry I just worry alot..I am going on the pill next month though! Thanks again!
