Yes. You can also get them free at your family planning clinic.

I don't know what the laws are exactly in the UK but if you've been on the pill I'm guessing the laws are such that you can get free condoms from either your doctor or a sexual/reproductive health clinic. You can also find them (not for free of course) at drugstores. Even if you're on the pill, you should still use a barrier method like a condom to prevent STI's, since the pill does not protect against those. As far as pregnancy prevention goes, condoms are nearly 100% effective when used properly. Go to http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/birth-control/condom.htm for good instructions for proper condom use. Always remember to check the expiration date on your condom and do a "pillow test" - squeeze the condom package between your fingers to make sure there's air moving around inside - before you open the package. If there's no air in the package, the condom could be punctured. Another important thing to remember is to make sure you put the condom on the right way and if you put it on inside out, don't use it!! It could have come in contact with pre-*** (pre-ejaculate), which can carry sperm as well as STI's.
One more : don't flush used condoms done the toilet!! They'll clog and you'll have a really akward situation with your parents!

Most Probably if not family planning clinics give them out free these can be located at most hospitals and in most cities you get youth clinics which give them out for free
If you've come off the pill you should think of other options aswell im sure your doctor will go through them . There are several incase condoms fail which unfortunatly they do , such as implants injections etc .

Not sure if your doctor will have any, but if he has I am sure he will.
Go to your local Family Planning Clinic, they have Free Condoms.
Then you can also have a chat about other contraceptive ideas. I had an implant. It is the same chemicals as the pill, but is implanted in your arm, and lasts for 5 years. There are also injections that last for about 3 months.
Good luck.

No cos you need to take a spelling test in order to get any. Then again, we wouldn't want people like you to be reproducing.. so maybe they will give you loads.
You should've been using a condom anyway when you're on the pill cos the pill doesn't protect you from STDs...

Look for sign C-CARD at our local doctors, that means they have free condoms to offer and normally its the practice nurse or even reception staff who hand them out but for reason of discretion see Practice Nurse, she will give you some or guide you to nearest place where you can get. Its much more freely available thn you anticipate

Yes they will give you some, they will more than likely ask you to choose another method of contreception as well as the condoms though. Good Luck.
