Is it safer to use the both at one time? Say the condom burst yet you're on birth control will there still be any possibility of someone getting pregnant? At what age can you start or is the best to start using birth control? How long should you be taking them before they start taking effect?
Reason for me asking is that I have a boyfriend who is very much sexually active and I'm not, I told him I'm not having sex until I'm through with high school and if we're still together at that time and I feel that he's the person who I want to take it. I can't ask my parents because they gonna freak and stuff, the best person to ask was my aunty but she's busy with her children and work.

I've gotten pretty good responses from this site thanks to you guys and I thought I'll ask it on here.

Update: Oh forgot to ask, is there any repercussions involved when using the birth control?    3 months ago

Update: the birth control I'm talking of is the pill

there is always the possibility of getting pregnant. even if you have both and she took the morning after pill. but the more prepared you are the better ur chances of not having a baby.

I think this is an English thing, but I'm not sure what context/meaning your using the word Birth Control. A condom is a type of birth control; as is the cap, pill, coil, rhythm method (not advised) and celibacy. To answer the question I’m assuming you mean the birth control pill or capsule or Combined oral contraceptive pill. There are more different types of the pill than fingers on your hand; their are different oral tablets, injecting (shots) you can get once a month, or even a small bar they insert under the skin in your arm that will last 2 years. Assuming your American Planned Parenthood will help. If you’re any other nationality then just go to your doctor.
The pill or Combined oral contraceptive pill, is the most common form of contraception and by far the most reliable. There have been millions of women taken this pill for 40 years so it proven safe. It can have some negative effects. My girl friend took the pill and loss her sex drive, the joking being it stopped her getting pregnant by stopping her having sex. But if that happens you can switch a different type. The main chance of failure of the Combined oral contraceptive pill is in human error. i.e. you forgetting to take one at the time needed.

Millions of women take the Combined oral contraceptive pill and have sex with men without getting pregnant. If they forget to take the pill on day, they can use a condom for safety’s sake.

You are very sensibly wanting to use a condom to protect you from STD. Well done for having a mature attitude toward this problem/risk. Condom are 90% effective, ie they can split or come off, especially if your having sex drunk. When your having sex with a condom you should really go for the bang bang hammer action, cause the condom will tire. When your having sex you need to (normally the fellas job but some are wankers and wont) put you hand down and check the base of your penis to see the condom is still there and maybe pull in down about every 2-3 minutes.

But your plan to use both the Combined oral contraceptive pill and condoms at the same time is the safest. Both to protect you from getting pregnant and from getting a STD.

you can start going on the pill at any age I think.it takes about 2 weeks before it can start taking affect.it is best to use a condom aswell as the pill because the birth control pill does not stop you catching sti's whereas a condom prevents it.good luck!

Look into Planned Parenthood. You need to get a pap smear before you get the pill. You will then need to wait a month (generally speaking) of taking it before it takes effect. There are lots of different types out there so I would do my research on them. Using a condom is a good idea as BC doesn't protect against STD's and AIDS. Plus it is a back up.

Answerer Repercussions include: acne, blood clots, weight gain, weight loss...really it all depends on what method. The side effects are about the same but not completely. - 3 months ago
Question Asker Thxs loads. Um what exactly does the pap smear do/what is it for?..and does it hurt? I heard of it before but I'm not completely sure what it is all I do know is that it helps to see whether you have an infection or not. - 3 months ago
Answerer The pap tests for std's, cervical cancer, infections and what not. They put your feet in some holsters and ask you to have your knees fall to your sides, they take a contraption that holds your vagina open, they take a swab of the inside of your cervix. It's not painful but it can be uncomfortable. This is done yearly. - 3 months ago
