Thread: how effective are condoms?

First things first... you should definatly both get tested for any sexual transmitted diseases before you have sex without a condom. Its a little scary but its a great way of finding out whats what before God forbid there is ever a problem. Second, def def deeffff go to you gynochologist and consult with her about what birthcontrol you should go on. Everyone is different so you should make sure your getting the right one that agrees with you hormonally and also i strongly suggest DO NOT take any of the new birthcontrols, like the ones where you get 2 periods a month or the patch. My firend was on the the patch and it fell off. And the 2 periods a year thing, honeslty a womens body was made for her uterous to shead and menstrate about once a month. When you are on b-control you will be able to control your menstration and also have an easier period; at least thats what I am on. I am on the b-control Yasmin, and it is amazing. There have been a couple of times where there has been accidents during sex and nothing ever happend. I have been on the pill for 5 years now. Also getting back to condums, they are man made... I was created with one, so you should always have a spermicide or an alternitive contraceptive when haveing sex other than condums. To me sex is a responsability and should be AMAZINGGGGG, but the time needs to be taken to make sure you are protected against the nasty little things that are out there to ruien having sex. If you want to have sex without a condom, use spermicide, diaphram, and-or-b-control, and make sure you are tested, the both of you!

thanks alot !
i'll do as u said definitely
iam very new to this pill thing and the only thing iv heard till now is abt the nasty side effects u get..
iv also heard that condoms are not 100% effective so does this mean that i have a possibility of getting pregnant? this month i had spotting 18 days after the 1st day of my period...my period is due today and iam very tensed abt it

dooo nooooott streesss. ... take a pregnency test.. and see what it says ... also condoms are not 100% they can be made with wholes and break easily. The side effects from pills are only nasty when the pill doesn't agree with u hormonaly and thats wen u tell ur gyno and she;ll switch it for u. Do not worry about it. Feel free to email me anytime if u need any indepth questions answered bc i know things can be scary at times.

ps.

doo notttttt let him ejaculate in u within 3 months of first taking the pill also.
