Nothing is 100% safe except abstinence. Since we are sexual beings we need the next best thing. As long as you take your pills as directed, you are protected (or safe) from pregnancy 99.5%.
Risks involved with taking BCP include blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. The risk is higher in women 35 or older and women who smoke. Like everything else in this life you must weigh the risks against the benefits. The risks associated with pregnancy are higher than the risk associated with BCP - let alone the risk of pregnancy, before you and your partner are ready to start a family.
