Kiwi - I am no statistician, LOL! but I read somewhere that the odds of falling pregnant in any given cycle, for a normal healthy couple are 1/5 (not very high really). So, if you DTD 3, 2, and the day of ovulation, you should have a higher chance, say 3/5 (60% chance).
Condoms range in effectiveness, but I guess if you consider the best case scenario of 95% effective, then that makes your 60% chance about 3% overall (5% of 60). Therefore, the best scenario is that you have about a 5% chance of falling pregnant if you use condoms on your most fertile time.
Of course, there can be sperm in pre-stuff, so if you don't use them for the whole show that would increase your chance, but I would say only marginally.
Nature is a funny beast who will always find a way to defeat us! They say 50% of pregnancies are unplanned, and 60% of these women were using some form of contraception, so it shows we are animals that are destined to procreate
Stats stats stats. They are interesting, but there is always someone out there who falls into the tiny percentage, no matter what stats we are talking about.
