Hi,
Thanks for choosing HCM.
The chances of getting pregnant a week after ovulation are zero. The ovum stays alive only for maximum up to 36 hours post ovulation. Mostly the chances are extremely low after 24 hours post ovulation.
If you are sure about the ovulation date, the condom had spermicide and also he did not come in, so chances of pregnancy are zero.
Please do not worry.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Take care.
