    Pill plus other methods

    Is anyone else on the pill still paranoid about getting pregnant? I feel like its kinda taking away from the whole enjoyment. Does anyone use another method along with the pill other than condoms?

      I have been on the pill for a year now..and even though it's been a month that I've just lost my virginity, I have never been more afraid to getting pregnant. It sucks because my boyfriend doesn't like condoms, and when I DO convince him to use them, they break!! X_X

        pull out...

        There are so many birth control meds. on the market (also do a Google Search).
        Another way, is for him or you to pull out... indeed, it does take away from the enjoyment but you have to do what you have to do to prevent pregnancy.

          This is not a full-proof method and shouldn't be relied on especially if no other birth control is used as a supplement.

          Directly copied from coolnurse.com - Birth Control Myths.

          Some couples rely on having the guy pull out -- that is, removing the man's penis form the woman's vagina just before he thinks he will ejaculate. This is just as risky as any other things we've talked about. First, there is usually a drop or two of clear fluid at the tip of the penis that appears before ejaculation, and these drops usually contain a few sperm. Since it takes only one sperm to unite with the egg for pregnancy to occur, ejaculation isn't always necessary. Sometimes all it takes is putting the penis inside the vagina. Second, ejaculation is often such a powerful physical and emotional feeling that a guy doesn't have total control over it, no matter what he thinks. Sometimes a man means to pull out, but gets carried away and doesn't. Also, it's hard for a guy to know exactly when he'll ejaculate. Third, if a guy pulls out and ejaculates near his partner's vagina, a few sperm might mix with the moisture around the vagina and move into it. Some sperm are great swimmers!
