Q: how effective can i continue to use condom with my pwrtner as a birth control?

: Couples who use condoms as their main contraception have about 90% reduction in frequency of pregnancy -- compared with 99-100% for hormonal contraception or IUD. With careful use, it should be fine for a few months -- but in the long run, there's a good chance you will conceive.
