I love him and am ready to have sex with him however the only thing holding me back is the possibility of pregnancy even using contraception. If I double up with 2 methods of protection is it safe to stop worrying about pregnancy? Reply to this Question

 the thing is its up to you whether you want to worry or not. using both comdoms and the pill is good but if you don't take the pills at the right time or the comdom you use is out of date ot not the right size and than you have to worry if it will break during sex. i think its good to worry because than you will make sure the comdoms are the right ones and you will take the pill as you are sopposed to. Both are good but do one thing wrong can lead to bad things. other wises just be careful use your brain and of course enjoy it.

 Hi
As you're in the States i dont know if contraception is free? It is here in the Uk, but i would go to your doctor or family planning clinic. Talk about the different options because there are many! And i think there is only one i haven't tried to be honest & they all had different side effects for me! But condoms are pretty damn safe if you use them properly!
Its always best to use those anyway when you start a sexual relationship with someone new.
Both of you going to the docs to talk about the options would be a good idea too.
Good luck.

For gods sake shes asking an honest question here! Firstly you should go to the dr and explain that are ready to have sex and ask to be put on the contraceptive pill. Its a pill that you take once a day and it stops you getting pregnant (provided you take it as instructed by your dr, its not hard, ive been on it for 5 years now). It doesnt matter how old you are, the dr will give you it for free. Also use condoms as well as they protect against STDs but also the pill is not 100% proof (nothing is, although they say it is 99%). If you use pills and condoms then you shouldnt worry about getting pregnant. Ive been having safe sex for 6 years with pill and condoms and ive never been pregnant and never worried about it. Hope this helped!

 I think you should definitely wait until it is legal for you, if you love each other there should be no issue with having to wait, and when you are ready if you go on the pill and use condoms that will give you your double protection.
Take care.xx.

If you want to double up you could go on the pill and use a condom. Then it is VERY unlikely you'll get pregnant but remember when your sexually active theres always a chance you could get pregnant - but using them 2 methods will stop your chances alot. Because even if the condom splits you're on the pill so it would be very unlikely to fall pregnant.Good Luck and even though your underage you're still thinking about how to prevent pregnancy and not alot of young teenagers do that anymore.

You've only been with your boyfriend for 10 months this time round, that's not very long, despite being with him for 2 years when you were younger. Plus if he is over the age of consent he could get into prison if caught, no matter how close you are to the age of consent. You said you are nearly 16 so you can wait, no matter how hard it might feel for you. Secondly no matter what two types of protection you use there is always a chance that you could fall pregnant (although it's unlikely). Same goes with STDs.
