Are There Pregnancy Chances After Using Expired Date Condom?

I am a 42 year old woman and had intercourse with my husband 24 hours ago. We realized there was a old expired condom in the drawer from 2007 and we used it is this ok? We did not know it was expired until after the fact, now what? Can I get pregnant even if it didnt break?

Hi, thanks for writing..
There is less chance of pregnancy with intact condom though expired. The failure rate with condom is 13%.So the chance of pregnancy is the same with expired condom also.. Only problem assosiated with it vaginal infection which can be due to the expired lubricant over the condom which can irritate the vagina. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
