Does using olive oil as a lube decreases the chance of pregnancy? I am worried as I used it and didn't use condom aa it doesn't go hand in hand with condom.

Olive oil doesn't have any significant contraceptive potential. Contrary to this, it is considered 'sperm friendly' or 'fertility friendly' lubricant. So your chances of conception solely depends on your phase of menstrual cycle, whether you were in fertile or safe period during intercourse! you should opt for emergency contraception if its all recent else you get a urine pregnancy test done as soon as you miss your period and repeat it after a week if it's negative!
