[CENTER][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 3 months now. He and I have grown very close to each other in that amount of time and feel as if there is not one thing we don't know about the other.
I want to have sex with him and he told me he would wait until I was ready. I have been taking birth control for about half a month and he said he would wear and condom and pull out before he cums all the way.
I ask you this.....do you think that would be enough to keep me from getting pregnant if he and I had sex within the next few days?[/FONT][/CENTER]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green]If you feel you are "ready" fine since it's your choices. If you have just begun the BCP you need to finish one full cycle to be safe. Condoms are a must since they prevent STD's and prevent pregnancy; however, you still require additional protection (pulling out is not a good solution). Rather use a spermicide jelly/film or foam to be certain. [/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT]

If you do the above, as sugested, a condom and a spermicide all should be fine. Despite using a condom, if he pulls out and ejaculates or if the condoms leaks in any way; you run a risk if semen comes into contact with vaginal fluids.

[LEFT][COLOR="Indigo">That is wonderful; yet as someone who has been "playing the field", married and divorced, dated, etc., et cetera, etc., I can tell you with every confidence, three months is not sufficient time to know all about each other.[/COLOR][/LEFT]

It is recommended that a woman new to the pill or patch go through one complete cycle before completely relying on this form of contraception. Since you've been on it for a couple of weeks or so, you definitely need the protection a condom affords.
This makes sense anyway even after you have been on the pill for awhile. Two forms of contraception are better than one, particularly when a couple is young. Both parties need to look out for Number One--you. This means he wears a condom and you use the pill, or at the very least as Sera stated, condom and spermicide.
As for wearing a condom and pulling out. Why bother pulling out? The whole idea of wearing a condom is so you do not have to. It's a moot point.
Look up the stickie on Birth Control Failure rates. Then you make the decision.
Most would say that these are good precautions and your chance of getting pregnant when using the pill and a condom correctly is very small. Of course, that assumes that you use both forms of BC correctly - missed pills and broken condoms are often the cause of pregnancy. Adding spermicide will also help and make you feel a bit more secure. However, there is of course still a small chance that you could get pregnant. You should talk to your doctor about your risk of pregnancy and read the info in your birth control packet and on the condom box. It may also be helpful for you to consider what you would do if you became pregnant (are you OK with abortion or would you feel compelled to have the child? If so, would you be financially and emotionally ready for that?) Only you and your boyfriend can decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
Thank you guys so much. You all have made good points and I will consider all of them.
I am thinking about waiting anyway. ^^ Thanks again.
