? about condom failure

Hi all, new poster to this particular board...I have a question about condom failure that resulted in pregnancy but I've always been too embarrased to ask. Have you or has anyone you know gotten pg when condoms were used? If so, was the condom failure evident at the time of intercourse (i.e., noticeable tear, hole, or fell off inside). I was just wondering if there were people who got pg even though the used a condom correctly and there were was evidence of a defect or failure at the time of intercourse. Maybe microscopic tears or leaks or something? I am sorry if this question is stupid or seems ignorant. I've always just wondered this. This is our form of BC right now, and if it was going to have an accident, I'd like to know if it would be possible to be totally surprised by the failure 2 weeks later, KWIM?

Thanks,
Laura

There are some women who assume they are using condoms correctly when they are not.
