Questions about birth control

[aphxtwn]

My partner insists that we use a condom along with birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. I know that you must use a condom if a pill is skipped, or late, but if its taken on time is it useless to wear a condom as well? And is it a good idea to still pull out while on the pill or will it have no impact? I really don't know anything about this subject, so any help (links are good too!) would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I agree, if you absolutly want to avoid pregnancy then you should also use condoms. I also got pregnant while I was on the pill and never skipped or was late taking them. But I have also gotten pregnatn being on the depo shot, so in my case I was pretty fertile.
And I wouldn't count on the pull out method. All it takes is one sperm to make a baby, and sperm can come out before the man ejaculates. (pre-***)

I am Fertile Myrtle... got preg on birth control/condoms every time.  Finally had the Essure procedure done - and there is STILL a chance!  Better safe than sorry is what I say!

I got pregnant on the pill twice I was taking it at the same time every day, and never missed a pill. (And i was on Depo for 5 1/2 years and didn't use condoms and never got pregnant, so i'm not just really fertile) so I think your partner is smart by wanting to use condoms and be on the pill. But that's just my opinion.  As for pulling out, that's up to you.  2 of my friends got pregnant, by using the pull out method, so it won't protect you from pregnancy.   I hope I was able to help some.
