condom w/ birthcontrol?

[love?]

show we start having sex with out a condom if she starts using birthcontrol. were both clean my worry is pregnacy

[sera300]

Use a condom if you have these concerns. Birth control pills do have failure rates and if you do not want to potentially be a dad use the condom; think of it as an insurance policy.

The rule is: "Unto mine own self be true".
In other words, look out for #1.

Here is a copy of a post from a few days ago:

Using a condom addresses his responsibility in the partnership and helps to keep him from being an unwed father and possibly having the course of his life changed forever. What about your responsibility to yourself? You should be using a very high reliability form of contraception in addition. At the very least, a spermacide as Brandye so often states. Never rely upon one method and the reliability of your partner. Here is a partial quote from a reply in another thread from a couple of days ago:

The reason this is true hinges on irresponsibility and a cavalier attitude.

It is important to know and understand that regardless of age, you are playing a version of Russian Roulette--only instead of having a six-shooter with five empty chambers, you have what essentially amounts to a fully loaded cannon that has live ammo ready to fire each and every time!

Please follow sera300's advise. It is not unheard of for a girl to forget to take her pill and if this happens, all bets are off.

Most women in stable relationships and on the pill do not use other means. If either of you is having contact outside the relationship, the condom helps prevent disease.

Using a condom with hormonal birth control helps prevent disease and reduces the chance of pregnancy to almost nil.

If your are totally sure about being clean...then you could also use BCP w/ some sort of spermicidal gel,foam,insert.

My b/f and I just use the BCP. Im older so pregnancy wouldn't be the end of the world... but I don't want it either!!
Also, I take my pills religiously. You have to know whether your g/f will do the same... but it should be something that both parties take responsibility for.
