Birth control?
I've been on the pill a little over a month. What are my chances of getting pregnant with unprotected sex or using the pull out method? Should we just keep using condoms or are we safe since I've been on the pill a while?
You should always use two forms of birth control for best results. For the pill to be effective it has to be taken perfectly (once a day, same time everyday) and many women don't do this. If you're not ready yet for more children it's better to not chance it.
The doctors suggest 3 months. Birth control is honestly only 93% effective so I would suggest using condoms as part of the birth control method too if you do not honestly want a baby. Taking certain medicines like antibiotics will reduce the effextiveness of the pill. Better be safe than sorry!
