Using contraceptives while on the pill - Birth Control Message Board

george_scruff · 10-22-2007, 06:13 AM

I have been on the pill for 7 years now and I have just started a
sexual relationship with a guy for the first time. We are quite a few years apart, and we both know that it's not going to be a permanent relationship.
My question: Are there ANY chances of getting pregnant while on the pill?
Or am I totally safe?
Does my guy need to wear a contraceptive "just in case"?
Because the last thing I need is to be preggo.
Thanks for your input!

There is always a chance of pregnancy even while on the pill. If you want to be sure you are safe, then YES have him wear protection also!

ALWAYS use a condom......besides pregnancy there's disease to worry about......why would you risk catching something especially from a relationship that you both know isn't anything permanant? Herpes is permanant, HIV is permanant....you get it?
