I have this question in the back of my mind. Is it really necessary to use a condom if I have been taking birth control same time every day for over a month and we both have been tested? Just wanted to know! thanks!

It depends on you, and what level of risk you and your partner are comfortable with!


If you take your pill correctly, the pill is highly effective - just under 100%.

Whenever I was on the pill,I never used a condom for back up and didn't have any problems (pregnancy)....If you feel comfy with it I would stop....If you're not keep using it....It's really up to you.....
