Condom not damaged,but could I be pregnant?
25/f
My boyfriend and I had sex last night. I used Lomexin medicine the night before and it ended up as a white creamy layer on top of condom. I panicked because I read that it could damage condoms. My boyfriend blew into it to check for breakage and leakage. There was a little cum in it but nothing came out. He kept the condom and later filled it with water when he got home,he just texted me saying that it isn't letting anything out. I really don't want to take the morning after pill because my hormones are severely out of balance. So,since there is no apparent damage to the condom,should I worry about pregnancy?

Maybe give some free advice about: Condoms?
That sounds like a very thorough and rigorous test you gave that condom, and if it was airtight ater sex it certainly won't have allowed the passage of semen in use. You won't be pregnant from that particular encounter. Can see you have lots of good advice re. condom types etc. Also, any company with medication on the market is obliged to make a factsheet available detailing any other medication which is known to compromise it's effectiveness and/or have side-effects. This would include using it with condoms in this case. It should be in the box, but the website of the maker is another source, as is a chat with the doctor. This sort of info is always worth knowing, and if anytime you are prescribed anything on the blacklist get in touch with the doctor straight away.

Since the condom was checked by your boyfriend and did not leak you probably have nothing to worry about. To be sure though you should consider taking the morning after pill within the next 24 hours. The white creamy substance was probably your own secretions coagulating on the condom possibly due to the medication.
The warning on condoms is for latex condoms only. I suggest if you are going to continue having sexual relations while on this medication you have your boyfriend purchase the more expensive Lambskin condoms. They are not affected by the medication, at least not specifically called out in the warning.
One thing about the Lambskin over the latex other than the cost is that you and your boyfriend might find them more enjoyable. Lambskin condoms have a more natural feel for both you and him. Have him check with the pharmacist to make sure the Lambskin does not interact with your medication. If not use them and as I said you may want to switch to them permanently. IF so you can shop them online for better pricing then at your local store.
