With proper use, condoms are 99.9% effective. Proper use includes: storing them in a cool environment (not your car or your wallet), making sure you use them before the expiration date, using only one at a time (no double bagging), putting the condom on before intercourse, not touching his precum and then touching your vagina, etc (can anyone add to the list?).
Of course, things can always go wrong, but the best part with condoms is, if something goes wrong, you usually know (it breaks, slips off, you have unprotected sex before putting on the condom, etc). If something does go wrong, you can use Plan B (the morning after pill), and that is pretty effective as well. The best plan is to have Plan B on hand (you can get it at pretty much any pharmacy, no prescription needed) just in case. You can take it *that night/morning* which will help protect you right away.
And in hopes of making you feel better: I had sex ONLY using condoms for 8 years, and never ever got pregnant. I did end up getting pregnant eventually... but that was by having unprotected sex with my husband.
I hope that helps!!!
