Girlfriend and I just stopped using condoms and we're scared......

[I_Wuz_Here]

My girlfriend and I stopped using condoms recently because she has been taking birth control for a while now. We even waited longer than the recommended 3 months that the doctor recommended to stop using condoms so it was well in her system.

The problem is that were both scared because I've never ejaculated inside her before. So after going two straight rounds (both of which I ejaculated inside her) we're kinda worried the birth control won't work. She takes it every single day at the same time and never missed a pill. Is it normal to be worried? Thanks for any help.

You stopped wearing a condom, why?

She is using the pill and you are worried, now, not before stopping with the condoms?

Please answer the questions mostly to benefit others who will read this thread.

Why didn't you get answers and prepare before stopping the use of condoms? Wouldn't it have been the responsible action to take instead of getting your jollies and now worrying and under stress?

I recommend that the two of you read the article on being ready for sex as well as those articles by Brandye about the reliability of various contraceptive measures. These articles are found in the Index at the top of the main screen.

For teens in particular it is wise to look out for and protect Number One--you. The same goes for the girl. This means that both of you should take responsibility for your own protection and the future course of your life. In addition, a third back up contraceptive should be used--a spermicide. So if you do not plan on becoming a new father, insist on wearing a condom in addition to the contraceptive your partner chooses--plus, the two of you should use a third back up method as noted, above. If you are going to enjoy adult activities, the two of you need to be adult about your responsibilities. Your girlfriends should have the same standards and requirements for using three forms of contraceptives.

I hope this is of help. Got questions?

Thanks a lot doc. You always know how to help.

If 100 sexually active women are protected by condoms for one year, 15 will likely become pregnant. If on the pill, 3 will become pregnant. Both of these are real world and not the ideal found in books and marketing information.

You are safer now, by a factor of five, than you were before. If you use both properly, the chances of pregnancy are approaching nil - actually, one-half of one percent.

I have never heard of a doctor saying to wait three cycles for the pill to kick in.

WHY?

Here she is pumping hormones into her body at some risk to herself and YOU CAN'T WEAR A CONDOM?!?!?!


How do you think that makes you look?
