Yikes - I want more information! Thanks Emma for answering Ryn-Frog's question, but all you other ladies who fell pregnant using condoms, was there any sign that the condom had failed? And do you know why they didn't work? Like what causes a tear/rip anyway? Is it a fault in the condom itself, or a lubrication issue or what??

I can't take the pill, so my husband and I have been using condoms (and only condoms) for contraception for the past 4 years. I whinged and moaned about it for ages, but decided in the end to just 'get over it'. We've never had a problem so I assumed they were practically fool-proof. When we did decide to try for our first baby I was pregnant the very first month of TTC - more evidence I thought that condoms were really reliable. But after reading about all of these condom babies I'm starting to wonder if my blind faith in the little raincoats is misguided...
