A condom is the safest method of contraception but even they fail sometimes. So long as you are taking your pill correctly you shouldn't have an issue...

dont worry about it! myself and my bf have been going out for two and a half years and ive been on the pill Cliest for the whole time weve been together. the pill is a good form of contraception, but gotta remember that if you vomited, had dirarehea, or took medication cos you were sick that these mess with the effectiveness of the pill.
so if you do suffer from any of these things while on the pill dont forget to use a condom! also when you start the next packet of the pill you gotta use condom for the first week cos it doesnt really get into your system until then!
hope this helps :)

 the pill is effective as long as you take it correctly however its not 100% sure to stop you from falling pregnant because all it takes is for you to be ill and the pill might not work or even if you miss your pill you could fall pregnant best thing to do is if you have sex and no you have missed your pill go and take the morning after pill.the pill is quite effective but if your worried then double dutch it with a condom and the pill

It's 99% effective against pregnancy. Just remember that it does not protect against STD's and won't be effective if you're ill. Other than that, you should be perfectly fine.

 Its proven to be 99% effective when taken continuouly so you should be fine. People will still suggest condoms more for std's but if it is just you and your bf that should not be a problem. Trust the doctors and the science behind it, there are alot of myths out there that keep popping up about random problems that may occur but really only happen one in a million or less.
Hope this eases your mind.
