Can you get pregnant while using a condom?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! I would like to ask, I had sex with my husband on December 16th, and I got my period on December 20th. My periods are always very regular, coming every month on the 20th. So I want to ask, will I get pregnant in this case? Follow-up question: If I got my period on the 20th, will I still get pregnant? And I was wearing a condom at the time!

Doctor's answer:

Guidance:
Hello, if you are using condoms for contraception, the probability of pregnancy is very low. You can use a pregnancy test kit or have blood drawn to check hCG and progesterone 14 days after sexual intercourse or 7 days after a delayed period to see if the values are higher than normal. If the values are significantly higher than normal, it is likely that you are pregnant. After confirmation, rest more, avoid overexertion, and have regular follow-up check-ups. Wish you good health!
