Hello, I just recently had sex for the first time with my boyfriend. I have been on the pill for around 5 months. We didn't use a condom, i had just had my period and was on the first of my pills for that month, I just want to know if there's any possibility of me getting pregnent. i have been worried about it all week and i just want to put my mind to rest so i can relax and not have to worry. can you email me at blondiegal_27@hotmail.com because i don't always get a chance to get back on the messageboards right away and i just want to relax...... thank you sooo much!

Hi iv_girlie83, welcome!

Hon, no method of contraception is 100% effective except abstinence, but if you are taking your pills correctly they are very effective (98-99%) so I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you are new to the board you might want to read the post 'Taking your pills correctly' in the FAQs. There you'll find tips on things to do and to avoid doing to get the most from your pills. Thanks for stopping by,

Good luck,
