Curious about the Pill and relying on it as a sole method of birth control (no back-up)?

I am 17 and have been on the pill for about 3 months now. My boyfriend and i always use a condom when we have sex, and it never really crossed my mind to rely on the pill only to prevent pregnancy. i was just wondering if anyone could tell me about this, if they are on the pill and dont use a back up method and how it works out for you. I am not sure if i will even do this with my boyfriend because i know it is not 100 % effective and i do not have any problem doubling up with condoms. But recently i let him just put it in me without a condom, only for a couple seconds and he said it felt way better so now i am sort of curious about letting him do it for longer than 2 seconds... haha. Thanks for anyones input. And by the way, i consider my pill use to be 'perfect use', i take it at 12 everyday and have never missed a pill. i am sure that it is working as it should be, but the idea of my boyfriend acually cumming inside of me is quite scary.Curious about the Pill and relying on it as a sole method of birth control (no back-up)?
I wouldn't recommend it. Both my mom and my best friend got preg while on the pill and they were very careful to take them right.Curious about the Pill and relying on it as a sole method of birth control (no back-up)?
Birth control is for just that - so that when sperm enters you, you will not get pregnant. If taken correctly, it is over 99% effective, so the chances are VERY slim that you will get pregnant if you are not using a backup. For STDs, you may want to keep using condoms (and, also, for peace of mind). My boyfriend and I don't use backup, and it kind of plays on your head, until you learn to trust the pill. For the first few months, I was panicking when my period was acting weird, but it had nothing to do with pregnancy, it was just the pill messing with my cycle. But then again, we are 23 and 26, are very serious about eachother, and although we do not WANT children now, are in a position where we COULD handle it if something DID happen. If you would rather avoid the worrying, and the slight chance of pregnancy, definitely use backup.
I am 19 and I personally have been on the pill for over two years and do not use a condom with my boyfriend. But, I think it all depends on the pill..and the person. I know someone who is pregnant right now and claims she was on the pill and using condoms as well. What pill are you on? I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclin Lo and then the generic brand of it, Necon. I know I took a great chance by not using condoms.. but I did and it has been okay for me so far. However, I'm not telling you whether to do it or not.. that decisions needs to be made completely by you. Have you and your boyfriend ever talked about ';what if'; you got pregnant, and what you would do?





Well, good luck with everything. Let me know if you have anymore questions?
omgosh . don't do it . lol . don't let him get used to doing it without a condom because it DOES feel better and when you decide you want to go back to using them , he won't . also , it's better to be super safe . i mean , you know the pill isn't 100% effective , soo it's better to stick to using condoms . it's soo much easier to go through every month not having to worry about whether you'll be getting your period . besides , i have a friend that was on the pill and took it at the same time and the same day everyday .. she's two months preggers ! i'm just saying :]
It's always best to use a backup method to prevent pregnancy and STD's.





Of course having sex without a condom feels better... that's why so many people do it without one. However, the pill is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, yet it offeres no protection against STD's or HIV. You have to take the pill at the same time every day for it to be that effective, otherwise it decreases in effectiveness.





I personally would not make a habit out of having sex without a condom. Trust me... It's always best when it comes to matters of your health to take each and every precaution. You want to protect yourself from pregnancy, but also STD's, etc. 1 out of 4 teens has an STD. Condoms help prevent that.
