How to stop worrying on the pill

I have been on the pill for about 4 years now with no problems. My boyfriend and I have stopped using condoms and just relying on the pill but lately I have been convincing my self that I am pregnant. I take my pill at the same time every day give or take five minutes. I just want to know if we should be using condoms as well or if I will be okay to just rely on the pill. Would love to stop worrying that I am pregnant every month...

You don't need to use a condom when you are taking the pill. Although, the pill is not 100% effective, just as well as the other birth control methods. There is a high chance that you do not get pregnant while taking the pill correctly, it's close to 95%. Some of us still get paranoid about it when not using condoms, I know exactly how it feels!
If it makes you feel better, start using condoms or just ask him not to ejaculate inside you.
