Is the Pill without using condoms safe?

I've been on the pill for 4 years now... it works perfectly and I take it at the same time everyday. My partner and I use condoms as another method of contraception however he seems to be uncomfortable (see other question I asked for full details!) and I was wondering is it safe to have sex without condoms if I'm on the pill? We only doubled up contraception to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. What are the chances I'd get pregnant in this scenario if he pulls out before he ejaculate?

  • You are a very smart and mature girl! There are very few your age that would take the precautions that you have and it is commendable. Unwanted pregnancy is a very scary thing! I was on birth control pills and took them religiously like you are describing and as well I used condoms during an entire 17-year relationship. If you want to try the pill without a condom you will just have to try it and see what happens. There's no other way to figure it out. Of course there's always that one horror story of someone so fertile that not even birth control pills would stop conception. Taken correctly it is 99.7% effective. When I finally ditched the condoms I did not have any problems and I am super happy about it! Do what you are comfortable with.

    • Aw thank you😊we just don't want an unwanted pregnancy. I'm scared of that horror story haha... I'll maybe try getting thinner condoms and see what happens. If that doesn't work I'll only use my pill. Thank you very much for your help and advice xx

    • Finding the right condom can make all the difference. I don't know where you live but try to find Durex extra-sensitive in the purple box. It's the best one I have found!

  • The Pill isn't 100% effective, but if you take them correctly and on time, it's close to 100%. My boyfriend and I have used just the Pill for more than two years now and no babies or scares yet.

    I wouldn't think pulling out would add much safety since it's possible there's sperm in pre-cum.

  • It’s completely safe. The pill is 99% effective on its own if taken at the same time every day so you should be fine. I’ve just used the pill for my entire relationship with my ex and we never once had an issue. Best of luck!

    • Ok that's reassuring. Thank you very much! Xx

    • No problem 😊

  • The pill is very effective for preventing pregnancy, so if you are using condoms as well, to prevent pregnancy, it seems, in my opinion, That it is not only redundant, but a waste of money and a lack of pleasure.
    Now, one thing you must remember and take into consideration is that the pill is great for preventing pregnancy, but does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.

    • Okay thanks. Yeah I doesn't protect againist STD's but we are each others first partner and in a longterm relationship so it's impossible. Thanks for your response! X

  • As with all things caution. if you really are averse to condoms or want to try not using one, and youstill like the security of doubling your methods, continue taking birth control and then take a plan b (morning after pill). that should keep your mind at ease and focused on more important tasks like fucking each other silly😉

    • True I'll try that. Thanks. Hopefully will be able to focus on other things soon haha😉😂
