I was on the phone to my boyfriend last night, and he suggested that I go on the pill, thinking that it would be quite a good idea. Think this is because we had a bit of a scare after the last time we had sex, as when he came out of me, the condom stayed in my vagina, and there was a lot of spillage.
Anyway, we don't live anywhere near each other... I live on an island, a two hour boat ride and two hour car journey away from him, as he lives on Mainland Scotland. We see each other once a month if we're lucky.
But I hadn't even thought about the pill, as we see each other so little, and being 15 is also an issue. He's 17 by the way. I always thought just using a condom was fine... And there is no way that I would be able to get the pill easily here, everybody knows everybody and everybody's business on the island.
Do you think that it would be worth my while to seriously think about it? And if I decided to start on the pill, is it possible for me to ask somebody else to get it for me? Advice would definately be appreciated. Thank you.

SWEETXLOVE answered Monday November 3 2008, 1:43 pm: well i went on the pill when i was 16 years old, which is two years ago. i didn't do it because i was having sex i took it to regulate my period but when i did become sexually active, it also protected me! i would suggest you start using the pill, it does wonders [: even if your not sexually active everyday. with me, i had no side effects which was awesome but it does vary with different people. talk to your mom about it, and tell her you want to go on it for your period, and it also helps with your cramps. it's really nothing to be embarassed about. i wouldn't have someone go get it for you, get it yourself so you can make sure your going on the right pill, and if you have ANY questions they can help you. please please dont be scared to go get it, it's not a big deal AT ALL, doctors are use to this sorta thing. if you need anything else, let me know girl ♥ LU [ SWEETXLOVE's advice column | Ask SWEETXLOVE A Question ]

But, if you and your BF feel that you have that urge to have sex. Than do so, but make sure that like last time you use a condom. You did the right thing by using a condom, it may have slipped off or whatever doing intercourse, but normally it won't. Plus what's the point of taking the pill if you only see him barely once a month, I can understand if you guys did it like DAILY. So don't use the pill, just stick with the condom and if your BF knows how to use it properly it shouldn't come off and you should be protected.
