Well Birth Control is not 100% gauranteed to keep you from getting pregnant, so if you want to take extra precaution I suggest using a condom. Birth control also does not protect against STD's
Birth control only protects against pregnancy. Condoms protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
Not all types of birth control need a prescription. Condoms, female condoms, the birth control sponge, and spermicide are among them even though their controlling effects are somehow less than ones with a prescription.
You can make an appointment with Planned Parenthood. They can write a prescription for birth control pills. They also give away free condoms.
Absolutely YES! Birth control pills only protect you from getting pregnant. Condoms, while not foolproof, will protect you from STDs.
If you are taken your birth control daily! Well you can skip the sugar pills that is fine but if you take it daily you should be fine! and if its not the 1st month that you started your birth control if so you need to use an other form of birth control (CONDOMS)!
You should definitely use something. Condoms prevent pregnancy and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). Birth control pills only prevent pregnancy. It is possible to use both, for double protection. If you are on birth control it is a good idea to use condoms too to protect against STDs. If you do not regularly have sex, you may prefer to use condoms, but if you regularly have sex then you may prefer birth control pills. With birth control pills you would need to remember to take them every day at around the same time. Even missing just one pill can lead to pregnancy. With condoms you would need to remember to have some ready to use. Thee are many different types of birth control pills and also many types of condoms. To find out more about birth control, speak to your doctor or nurse. To discuss both options and which would be best for you then I suggest going to an advice centre where they can give you information that will help you to make a decision. You could also discuss it with your doctor or nurse.
Condoms are 99% effective but all it takes is that 1% or it breaks and you're pregnant! The best combination is condoms and birth control pills.
Birth control is 99.9% effective when taken properly, so you do not need a condom to protect yourself from pregnancy. However, if you are not in a monogamous relationship; meaning, if you have more than one intimate partner, you should use condoms to protect yourself from STI/STD's.
Nothing, they are just sugar pills. You still need to take them though. It makes you remember to take your birth control. Nothing, they are just sugar pills. You still need to take them though. It makes you remember to take your birth control.
Condoms. Birth control. But why would you need them? You should be married and want kids. God didn't put us on this earth for pleasure.
Leave them where she found them. In almost all states, 18 is over the age of consent. And if she is going to be sexually active, at least she's smart enough to be using both birth control and condoms. Also, birth control doesnt necessarily mean she is having sex. Many people take it for medical reasons or even to reduce acne or cramps. No need to jump to conclusions. If you are really bothered by this, you might want to talk to a parent or your sister about it.
Even if you take the birth control pill perfectly, there's a chance you could get pregnant. Of 1000 couples using the birth control pill perfectly for a year, three will get pregnant. If you can accept that risk, and aren't at risk of infection, then you don't need condoms. Make sure you and your partner have discussed and agreed on your course of action if you did get pregnant before you decide to stop using condoms.
