I don't think they are very high but I'm still kinda worried... Please I don't want any "you're too young" because I've been with my boyfriend since I was 10 and I'm sixteen in a week and 2 days so I don't want any "you're not ready" comments =/. Thank you.

I just didn't want this to become a page about how I am too young. I apologise if it came out the wrong way. I didn't mean for it to... I just didn't want things getting in the way of my question being answered so I am awfully sorry if it did appear to come out how I didn't intend it to.
And for everyone else, thank you for your responses. They've helped a lot. xx

 If you are taking the pill correctly you have a 1 in 100 chance of getting pregnant.
Taking the pill correctly is having one every 24hours without being 6 hours late.
Just because you are on the pill does not mean you suddenly forget condoms. They are there for a reason to protect against STI's. I have alot of people saying to me "I know my boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't have a STI because i'm the only person that they have slept with."
Just because they have only slept with you does not mean they don't have a STI. People are sometimes born with them, their parents passed them down to them. Don't take any chances and wear a condom until you have talked it through and ready to try for a child.
People arn't going to tell you, you are not ready for sex. They don't know you and its a commen fact teenagers have sex.
Good luck babe

 Here's research you can do yourself at plannedparenthood.org:
"How Effective Are Birth Control Pills?
"Effectiveness is an important and common concern when choosing a birth control method. Birth control pills are very effective. Combination pills work best when taken every day. Progestin-only pills must be taken at the same time every day. That keeps the correct level of hormone in a woman’s body.
"Less than 1 out of 100 women will get pregnant each year if they always take the pill each day as directed.
"About 8 out of 100 women will get pregnant each year if they don’t always take the pill each day as directed.
The pill may be slightly less effective for women who are very overweight. Talk with your health care provider if you are concerned about how well the pill may work for you.
"Certain medicines and supplements may make the pill less effective. These include
"the antibiotic rifampin — other antibiotics do not make the pill less effective
"certain medicines that are taken by mouth for yeast infections
"certain HIV medicines
"certain anti-seizure medicines
"St. John's wort
"Vomiting and diarrhea may also keep the pill from working. Ask your health care provider for advice. Use a backup method of birth control — like a condom, female condom, diaphragm, sponge, or emergency contraception (morning after pill) — until you find out you don’t need to."
==========
From the same website: (for Implanon, the implant)
"If you get the implant during the first five days of your period, you are protected against pregnancy immediately. Otherwise, you need to use some form of backup birth control — like a condom, female condom, diaphragm, sponge, or emergency contraception (morning after pill) — for the first week after getting the implant."
===========
I'll let you do the math!
Take care.

 Aww, you don't want any "not ready" comments! Well you must be old enough to know if you could be pregnant or not, and how to deal with a baby and AIDS.
So I won't bother helping you out!
If you want help, don't post arsey notes on your question telling the aunts what you do and do not want to hear!
