Hi,
If, you are using a condom, properly, it is effective about 85%. Therefore, to confirm/rule out a pregnancy, you are advised to have an HPT done. To give you proper protection against pregnancy, you should use some hormonal birth control pill or hormonal implant, as their efficacy is in the range of 95-99 %. Also, the use of hormonal birth control pills will make your periods regular besides having a satisfactory contraceptive action.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
