Taking birth control pills, but worried I'll still get pregnant if he doesn't wear a condom

Question - (18 June 2009) 7 Answers - (Newest, 20 June 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay so, my boyfriend is coming over tomorrow. He and I used to foreplay and sometimes have sex but it all stopped a few months ago when I got on birth control pills. I don't know why but I Just was never in the mood. The thing is, I've been thinking that I do want to have sex with him again when he comes over and he asked me if I wanted to and I told him I would think about it. (Also, I do feel comfortable having sex with him as I have in the past and I'm very comfortable.) I have been taking the pill around the same time every day but when we had sex, I always made sure he wore a condom too since birth control pills aren't 100% effective against pregnancy. He has no condoms because he left them in his bedroom and his friends came over and were messing around and stole them. He has no condoms and he can't go buy them himself because he's only 15. I'm afraid if I don't use a condom, even though I'm taking birth control, then I'll get pregnant. Any ideas?

EbonyBlossom agony auntIf you did get pregnant from just using the pill, you'd be in about 0.01% of pill takers without using condoms. But remember the pill protects from pregnancy ONLY.

Honeypie agony auntI agree 100% with Army medic. No condom = no sex. He's not the one who could potentially become pregnant. It's your body.

PS, there are many public places were they have condom machines in the bathrooms.

PPS, I have never heard of anywhere where they ask to see ID to buy condoms.

I don't know what state you live in but there are no age limits on condoms! If you want him to wear one he better wear one or refuse to have sex with him. (Some stores keep them behind the counter because condoms are stolen often but you can buy them at any age!) make him buy them, then make him use them if that's what you want.

QuirkLady agony auntVery smart of you to be responsible about your birth control :)

I agree with Lily Rose, talk to your doctor about changing your birth control pill. Different pills have different effects, and another pill may bring your sex drive back. Also, he can stop into a Planned Parenthood or a teen clinic and get condoms for free. You can too.

Good luck!

Lilly Rose agony auntCertain birth control pills can put you off sex...i had this problem so i went back to my doctor and asked for a different type....maybe thats what you should do if your not in the mood anymore! Wear a condom aswell just to be safe as you don't know how many partners your boyfriend has had before you! Be safe, and if he still refuses dump him, as any man who has respect for you would wear a CONDOM!!!

ArmyMedic agony auntIs it illegal to buy condoms if you are 15 in the USA? That's a great way to deal with teenage pregnancy! So where did he get the condoms that were stolen from him? maybe he should go back to the same source!

Or he's talking bollocks, tell him no condoms no sex and trust me any guy would be able to get some condoms with that demand!
