Contraceptive pills are usually safe. They work by thinning the lining of your uterus as well as supressing ovulation. You need to ovulate to get pregnant! The side effects of the pill vary but, most women who try the pill do not experience side effects or if they do they are mild and usually go away after the first few months. Things like breast tenderness and lighter shorter periods are common side effects. Definitely talk to your doctor about this option. I'm on the pill and love it! My periods are shorter and optional, my cramps are practically none existant, I get less pms, the pill decreases my risks for ovarian and urterine cancer and I don't need to use condoms.
If you decide to use the pill, you can stop using condoms if you are sure that you and your partner are free of STIs after taking 7 active pills (one each day at the same time everyday!) If you continue taking your pills properly, you will not need to use condoms ever again but, chances are you'll have to use antibiotics at some point and in that case you'll need condoms again. Just remember that the pill doesn't protect against sexually transmitted infections. Only condoms will do that.

The choice of birth control depends on factors such as a person's health, frequency of sexual activity, number of partners, and desire to have children in the future. I have an article (to lengthy to reproduce here) that describes in detail around 16 different contraceptives. (I could send you an attachment). There are varied reports on the side effects on the use of the pill. Some women give it the thumbs up while others have complained. During periods you can certainly have safe sex without contraceptives. I am not sure about the safe period before and after the menses

You can't get pregnat whilst having a period, however there always remains a risk of pregnancy in the few days after. Speak to your doctor about an IUD, which is a small clamp placed on the cervix, and can easily be removed. Unlike oral contraception it has minimal side effects.

I could never remember to take the pill so I switched to the depo shot. You get it once every 3 months and you are protected (from pregnancy) as soon as its injected. I've been with the same guy for 2 years, going at it like rabbits lol and no babies! Oh, I also don't get a period either so fun every night! Good luck!
