PG while using condoms???

Good morning ladies! Something strange is going on with my body. I am not due until next week (the 14th) but this week I have been having some light spotting. Some brown, some light pinkish... I'm a little crampy, tired and cranky. I was pg before and had a m/c and felt this way early in my pg. I'm thinking that maybe I am pg. That would explain the spotting and the way I feel. But we have used condoms without fail every single time we bd. I know accidents happen but wouldn't you know if something slipped off or anything like that??? We are very careful. Could I be pg or am I going out of my mind? It wouldn't be a big deal if I was, we'd actually be quite happy.

Please help!

Thanks!

Julie

occasionally, just like any other manufactured product, a condom can be deffective. maybe you managed to get a condom that had a tiny hole in it somewhere. or maybe it leaked or broke and you didn't realize it. i agree that you'd know if it came off - don't you hate realizing that you lost a condom? *hehe* i've done that before! but it is possible to get pregnant while usuing ANY form of b/c except abstinence. it just isn't likely. try not to freak out (that can mess up your cycle) and if your period doesn't show up within a couple of days of when it's due, take a test. good luck!

I have a friend who has 3 children, each spaced 3 years apart....each conceived by surprise while using condoms. You very well could be. Good luck!
