The pill isn't 100% either. With correct usage, condoms offer pretty much just as much protection, in addition to protection from STIs. Both hormonal birth control and condoms are effective to the advertised percentage when used correctly.
Don't let your boyfriend pressure you by blackmailing you with sex. It's your body, and if you no longer feel comfortable taking the pill, it's your decision only so long as you let him know so he can take necessary precautions. There's no proven health risks for HBC just yet, but it's relatively new on the market so we'll have a much clearer picture over time. &I myself have experienced many bad side-effects from it in the past so I say go ahead with your decision. :)
Condoms are far less effective than the pill even when used correctly. When both are used correctly, the pill is still about 4x to 6x more effective than condoms.
... with perfect usage, which is super easy for both methods, effectiveness will differ by only 1%. Take care that the condom fits correctly, leave some space at the head when applying it, take care when he's pulling out to keep the condom on, and it's effectiveness will be 98%. Perfect usage of the pill gives you 99% effectiveness.
I used to study on birth control pills back in school 🙊 lol I know they are some side effects of the pills too.
But if I haven't had any bad side effects, i would still take it. There are many many people who are on the pills without any bad symptoms if you are worried you can change the type of the pills. If someone had a bad symptom that doesn't mean that you would have it too.
But, If you really don't want to be on the pills because you are worried, talk to him again maybe this month you can use the pills and the next month he can use condoms 🙊 both need to compromise qnd sacrifice a little for each other 🙊😳🙈
Yes, it is messed up that he thinks that way. If you don't want to take the pill any longer, he must at least try to understand it. Talk to him again about it. Why should you have to be the one sacrificing yourself by putting a pile of hormones into you everyday, and not him doing a little "sacrifice" as well by using a condom? Sorry to say but it looks like he's more into having sex with you than actually into you. I hope you figure this out and have the chance to work this situation out with him.
first you should check with your doctor if all the things you heard are true.
by the way, your bf is being a little selfish there, i mean, he needs to understand your situation. Try to talk to him again.
Do not have sex without the pill or a condom. You do not want to be a mommy. Google IUD and see if that might work for you. There are options. How often do you two have sex?

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!he's putting his sexual pleasure above the health effects of the pills you're worried about, he's in the wrong its not like you suggested to go raw and risk having a baby.
So... how is he "not letting" you get off the pill?
True!!
@Kiwifun I never understood how can an adult be "not let" by another party outside of physical constriction like... having a chained to a heavy metal ball like it's 1855
I agree! Just because he tells her not to go off the pill doesn't mean she "can't" @Illusive_Man
Forget what you have heard. Only stop if something is happening to you because of the pills because everyone has different symptoms. As for him not wanting to have sex or use condoms that is just stupid and you should still be using them while you are on the pill anyway to be on the safe side. IT is your body and its your decision. You are grown and you can get off the pill if you want to. He is trying to manipulate you into having sex without a condom instead of being smart about and just wrapping it up.
I think that you should go to your doctor for advice, condoms break and you'll probably need something else, like spermicide or a implant that goes into your arm.
even if your on the pill you can still get pregnet
Give him a choice then. Either wrap it up or no sex.
If you're not ready for a baby, one of you needs to be on B. C. (whether it's the pill or the condom). You could threaten him with no sex if he doesn't want to wear a condom
if it was so bad for you doctors wouldn't prescribe it. ur bf is a smart man! the pill protects you from getting preggers. condoms aren't 100% so having the pill gives u back up protection
the pill also isn't 100% so having a condom would be back up protection but he isn't doing that is he?
No. Noooo. Firstly, the effects of the pill vary, and for some people it honestly can be bad for them. Secondly, her boyfriend isn't using condoms anyhow, so the second part of your post is pointless anyhow.
i know that. i know someone who got preggs on the pill. but i would rather have 2 forms of protection than one
