Yes, The Dr. will always advise you to practice safe sex. The pill will only protect you from getting pregnant. Using the pill does NOT protect against any STD (Aids, chlamydia,syphlis,Herpes.. and many others) You need a condom to keep from catching one of those.

Using the Pill to regulate your periods is completely different than using it to prevent pregnancy. Using the Pill to regulate your periods means that you need to take a pill every day, but missing one, or taking one later in the day than you usually do isn't that big a deal.
To use the Pill to prevent pregnancy it needs to be taken once a day, EVERY day, at the same time every day. Can you guarantee you are going to do that - every day, and never miss? I don't think so. And even if you did, there is still a chance you could get pregnant (I know a woman who got pregnant twice, while on the Pill, and taking it correctly).
Furthermore, as the first responder stated, the Pill will not protect you from any STD. You need a barrier form of contraception for that - like a condom - and even a condom won't protect you for all STD's, and also won't guarantee you won't get pregnant!
So, if you don't want to get pregnant, then you should either not have sex, or use at least two forms of contraception - like the Pill and a condom.

Sorry but you have been misinformed, the birth control pills does work to regulate your periods and to prevent pregnancy When having irregular periods well we don't call it periods we call it irregular bleeding your hormones are not working properly have nothing to do with the mind or your body being tricked, and ones you start taking the pills you will have a real period and your hormones will start working properly there's lots of pamphlet's in doctors office regarding irregular bleeding and hormones imbalance and are free just for the asking call your doctor and ask if they can mail you or u can pick up some pamphlets and you can be well informed or you can log on in the iternet just type irregular bleeding or hormones imbalance and you will received plenty of information Good luck and hope you feel better

well if you are having sex with more than one partner or yoru partner is having sex with people other than you then of course your doctor would advise using condoms. the pill only keeps you from getting pregnant and for regulating your cycle. it doesn't protect you from STDs. also for the first month the pill doens't protect you from not getting pregnant it takes at least 30 days to get into your system and start to work.

There are such things as sexually transmitted diseases like HIV, herpes, AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis. Other than those things I really can't see a good reason to use a rubber.
