baby?
We used a condom correctly. The condom didn't break or anything. And i'm 19 days late. It was his first time in 5 years. What is your opinion?

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Condoms?
Condoms should be 98% effective, if used correctly, so while it is unlikely that you are pregnant, 19 days is quite a long time for your period to be late.
If it helps, mine was once two weeks late for no particular reason.
Regardless, you might want to go get a pregnancy test. It's best to get a couple of them, as they can screw up sometimes.
I hope everything turns out well!

It is possible that you are pregnant though there is also a bigger possibility you are not. Stress is the biggest cause of a woman missing her period, even more so than being pregnant.
While it is true that condoms are only 85% effective when used correctly. There are other factors involved such as where you ovulating at the time of intercourse.
Stress, antibiotics, and extreme exercise are three of the largest factors in a woman missing her period with stress being the larger of the three. If you have been stressed out over will you or are you pregnant; this may be the cause of your missed period.
I suggest you do as laynemayhem suggested and get 3 home pregnancy tests kits. These test are prone to giving false positives more than false negatives. So regardless of what the first test says you wait ten more days and test again. IF you get the same result then whatever that result may be is probably correct. If you get a different result you test again in ten days even.
The other alternative is you can go to any free clinic for women and have a blood test done. Once you have the results and hopefully they are negative. If you are over 14 you can request birth control medication and it will be dispensed at little or no charge to you. This is your right under a law Known as HIPPA.

the sad truth is that condoms are only 85% accurate. you could use it correctly and still get pregnant.
if i were you, i would go to the store and get three pregnancy tests. 19 days late is no joke. majority wins with the tests.
take care!
