My boyfriend (of 3 years) and I want to take our intimacy to the next step- having sex all the way without a condom. I've been taking Yaz solidly for one year. What is the probability of getting pregnant even though I'm on birth control? I'm still terrified to have him ejaculate inside me if there is not a physical barrier, but we would really like to try this.

Umm... I didn't say "HE" wants to, I said "WE" want to.
And we have both been recently tested for STDs.

For those who asked, I'm 22. Wow, do I really seem like a 15-year-old by the way I type? I thought that my spelling and grammar were pretty good compared to most other questions on here.
Oh, and please don't judge someone you don't know. I'm just asking a simple question about fertility.

It is very undestandable to feel the way that you do. There is absolutly nothing wrong with wanting to be safe. If you really want to try without using the condom, you dont really have to worry about pregnancy if you have been taking you pills regularly at the same time each day. They are highly effective. I have been using mine for about three years and my boyfriend and I have never even had a pregnancy scare.

I don't think you are being irrational. I was using condoms when I got pregnant with my son and I was taking the pill too, the pill would make me sick and I would puke it up so that is the reason that it didn't work for me. If the both of you are ready to start a family I think that it is OK to take the next step. Because of what happened before I try to keep it safe and double up. We use condoms and I have an IUD. I think that it's a little selfish that he is pressuring you to try this. Growing up I was raised that you were not suppose to have sex until you were married. If he keeps bringing it up,stop having sex for a while (if you can handle it). You can rationalize a sex free week. It will drive him crazy and won't care how he gets it.

Absolutely not being irrational!!! Its better to be safe than sorry!!! I went thru the same thing, every possible way to prevent pregnancy but still be intimate with my hubby, I still worried myself sick every month if i was a moment late!!! The worry will not be worth it girl!!! I have to say the chances are very low of you getting pregnant with you being on the pill *solidly!!!* for a year. Im not saying you would get pregnant...i just didnt find the worry worth it ya know? Good luck!!!

I don't think you are being irrational you are being safe which is good. As long as you are aware that there is a slight less then 1% chance of getting pregnant then go for it. Sounds like you are good at taking pill on time every day so you should be just fine.

Your being cautious is good. I on the other hand took birth control for 9 years, and now can not get pregnant. I have not taken any birth control for 8 years now. I am 34 and have not got pregnant. Oral birth control is 99% effective if taken correctly. My boyfriend of 7 years was not a fan of condoms (most men aren't) and my husband hasn't ever had to because I am not able to get pregnant. Good luck

no condom is still not safe for me. I was on birth control pills so i thought i was safe, then i ended up pregnant. I was also trying to lose weight with diet pills. My doc told me that anything that changes your metabolism (the diet pills did), can affect my birth control pills. Just make sure your not on any other medications, or ask your doc what they suggest.
GOOD LUCK

Well, birth control includes all items and medication used to prevent pregnancy, so without them, the only way to prevent pregnancy is to get your tubes ties (or get a vasectomy). The only 100% sure thing is to not have sexual inercourse. It's the only way.

i took the pill everyday same time and im now 36wks pregnant BEWARE!!!!!!
next level? thats not a level lol..... if you wanna try sex without a condom i suggest pill every day same time .... and spermicide and maybe even a female condom or medical sponge or cervix cap.....
you can use more then one protective method. even try pull out method with the pill its not 100% either but its better then just the pill.
and watch out for STD's if he or you cheats once thats all it takes to come in contact with AIDS and ruin your life.

First off, the reason he'd like to try it isn't because he's trying to be more intimate. It's because it feels more sensative. (I'm not explaining that one further...figure it out.)
There is ALWAYS a chance for pregnancy. Here's the thing, though. Pregnancy (although a big result) is not the only thing you can "catch" from having unprotected sex.
I know your boyfriend and you both claim to be monogamous (at least I'm guessing you both claim that). But what if something happens at some point, and one of you isn't? Then, you've got to deal with either telling the other person that you've been unfaithful. Or, you'll have to lie (by not telling), and have unprotective sex with them--and possibly put them at risk. NOT a nice thing to do to someone you love.
Plus (as a side note), you're less likely to enjoy it--because he'll be "quicker."
So, just keep protected behind as many barriers as you can.

I felt the exact same way when I went on birth control. If you take your pills at around the same time every single day without missing one- the chances are like almost zero. While people DO get pregnant on the pill- it's mostly because of their own stupidity- skipping pills, etc. Also remember if you are put on antibiotics, this can also cause the pill to be less effective.
My husband and I had sex for two years while I was on the pill (without a condom) and nothing ever happened. I think you'll be fine if you take your pills responsibly.
