Question
Hi. I am currently on birth control and have never missed a pill. My boyfriend
and I always use a condom when we have sex. We have gotten curious though
and want to try it without a condom... what are my chances of gettin pregnant if
any? Thnx!
Hi Kinzie,
I'm not a medical professional so please check with your physician. So is it my understanding that you are using a condom as a back-up method? That is a good idea but I don't know the exact statistics of not using a condom with the birth control pill. It would probably be a little more chance of pregnancy but I can't tell you the odds. However, if you really don't want to get pregnant, I don't know if I would take that chance. Are you doing ok with the pill or do you have any side effects? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know.
Thanks.
