Question

I'm on the birth control pills. Can I have sex without condom? I won't get pregnant right?

Answer 1

you wont get pregnant. but you may get AIDS.

Answer 2

well this is what the BC is for hun,

Over the course of 1 year, 5 to 8 out of 100 typical couples who rely on the Pill to prevent pregnancy will have an accidental pregnancy. Of course, this is an average figure and the chance of getting pregnant depends on whether you take your birth control pills every day. The Pill is an effective form of birth control, but even missing 1 day increases the chance of getting pregnant.

For the first 7 days of taking the Pill, a girl should use an additional form of contraception, such as condoms, to prevent pregnancy. After 7 days, the Pill should work alone to prevent pregnancy. But continuing to use condoms will protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

If pills are skipped or forgotten, a girl is not protected against pregnancy and she will need a backup form of birth control, such as condoms. Or she will need to stop having sex for a while. Do not take a friend's or relative's pills.

Answer 3

If you start the combination pill within five days after the start of your period, take the first active pill of the first pack. You will not need to use a back up method of birth control. You are protected against pregnancy immediately.

If you start the combination pill at any other time during your menstrual cycle, take the first active pill of the first pack. Use another method of birth control if you have vaginal intercourse during the first week of combination pill use — protection will begin after seven days.

You may start the progestin-only pill at any time. Use another method of birth control if you have vaginal intercourse during the first 48 hours of progestin-pill use — protection will begin after two days.

Taking the progestin-only pill at the same time each day is essential — if you take it more than three hours past the regular time, you need to use a back up method of birth control for 48 hours after taking the late pill.

Be sure to follow the instructions on your pill package.

A chewable pill
A new version of the Ovcon 35 pill can be either swallowed whole or chewed and swallowed. Make sure you drink a full glass of water after chewing and swallowing this pill — if any medicine is left in your mouth, the pill may not be effective.

Pregnancy and the Pill

There is a very slight chance that you will become pregnant even if you take the pill.

However, a missed period does not always mean you are pregnant, especially if you have not skipped any pills. But see your clinician if you miss a second period.


If you ever forget taking pills, make sure u have a backup additional method of contraception.

PILLS DO NOT PROTECT AGAINST STDS LIKE HIV, HERPES, GONORRHEA ETC

Answer 4

There is strong evidence that the Pill does not always prevent ovulation. This means that break-through ovulation occurs. For people that are on the combination pills, the rate of break-through ovulation ranges from 1.7% to 28.6% per cycle. For people that are on progesterone only pills, break through ovulation occurs from 33% to 65% of the time. "Breakthrough ovulation happens even among those who never miss a pill."

The Pill's first and primary mechanism is to inhibit ovulation. This is what most Birth Control companies say that their pill does, without mentioning the other "backup" mechanisms. The second mechanism is the thickening of the cervical mucus which makes it more difficult for sperm to travel to the egg. The third mechanism is where ethical decisions must take place. This mechanism thins and shrivels the lining of the uterus to the point that it is unable or less able to facilitate the implantation of the newly-fertilized egg. Since life begins at conception, this third mechanism is an abortifacient.

Answer 5

As long as you have been on your pills for a full menstrual cycle.....(about one month) then you can have sex with out a condom. Just know that your bith control is at the most 99.8% effective so there is a small chance you could get pregnant. sFor some women birth control doesn't work. So just know that there is always a risk when having sex nothing is 100% sure.

Answer 6

If it's during the first 30 days you should use a condom too. The hormones have to have time to build up in your system before the pill becomes fully effective. After the first 30 days you shouldn't have to use a back up method unless you miss a pill. Then it's a good time to double up.

Answer 7

Umm not exactly! I know a friend that is a birth control and condom baby. SO! I would be safe and use a condom! Plus....you are reducing the risk of getting an STD!

Answer 8

It is absolutely not correct that a woman’s fertile period is right before and right after her period. A woman’s fertile period is before and after ovulation (when an egg is released from the ovary). For most women ovulation occurs in the middle of the month between her periods. See website below for detailed information. By your dates if your girlfriend has a regular (or close to regular) 28 day cycle is seems likely that you had unprotected sex well after ovulation and it is unlikely that she is pregnant. However you can get pregnant from unprotected sex at any time in your cycle so if your girlfriend’s period is late she should take a test and of course be more careful in future.

Answer 9

No that's wrong, You can be part of the special 1% that does get preg. off birth control. You can also get preg. while being on your period. Very rare but it can happen. Also keep in mind the only way to protect yourself from an STD is to use a condom.

Answer 10

Not necessarily. I know someone who was on three different kinds of birth control, but still got pregnant. Even without a condom.

Answer 11

Even on birth control pills there is a SMALL chance you could get pregnant. Not really enough to worry about, but the chance does exist.

The bigger risk is disease ... there are FAR worse things than getting pregnant. You could get HIV or AIDS and die.

You could get Hepititus C and end up destroying your liver and have to be on pills and/or dialysis the rest of your life.

Any number of sexually transmitted diseases can cause infertility ... so you might not be able to get pregnant in the future .... should you want to later in life.

And the list goes on.
