(The morning after pill failed on me) I'm assuming they've got different kinds of chemicals in them (I'm on Microgym 90) but I can't relax about it. I don't like using condoms as it doesn't feel very natural... Any advice? Should I just relax? xx

Talk to your doctor about the shot. I dont like condoms either and I have been on the shot for 4 years having sex without a condom (with the same partner that we both lost eachothers virginities to) and have never been pregnant. I too dont trust the pill. Way to many pill babies out there.Also just a heads up if you are on an antibotic it will effect any time of birth control except a condom. Just so you know for the next time you get sick.

I can see why you'd be scared now.
The pill is the safest contraception... Appart from of coarse having no sex.
If you do not want to use a condom and you are scared of the pill then you should go to your doctor and talk to them about what the best from of contraception is for you. You could use a diaphram aswel as the pill or get an implant.
There are many other options that you can take. You just need to go to your GP and find what's best for you and what makes you comfortable.

 You should learn to adapt to using and the feeling of a condom.
Sure they reduce a bit of sensation; but it's either losing a bit of sensation but being protected from pregnancy and other infections or being natural but running the risk of pregnancy and all sorts of infections ect.
Take care

 Yes, i think you should relax more. Pills are almost 100% safe if you use them properly. I can tell you from my friend's expereinces and mine. They use them for a ages and have sex almost every day, but still no one of them wasn't become pregnant. If you're still not sure, talk with your gynecologist and ask her why your pills are the best for you. She will explain you anything you need to know.

 It's either one, the other, or both. As long as you follow every direction when on the pill - everything should be fine. As long as you put on a condom correctly - all should be well! Double your chances of protection by using both.
