Well for me [im on the shot] my boyfriend goes in me & i haven't gotten pregnant since ive been on birth control [knock on wood]. But a few of my friends have gotten pregnant even though they where on birth control. So its more of a yes or no thing, to me i think it depends on the bc and how its used.

well birth control doesnt have a 100% posibility of protecting you from being pregnant. what birth control does is it has hormones and it helps with the hormones that cause pregnancy. id stick with both of them. if you need anyother help just let me know. :D

To give you a more specific explanation.

Hormonal birth control works via two different methods.

One is to stop ovulation. Your ovaries do not release an egg, so you can't have a baby. As I understand it, this is actually the less reliable of the two, because if somehow an egg does get released, theres nothing else stopping it.

The other is to thicken the uterus's walls so that an egg cannot attach to them. After a sperm and egg join, the new embryo has to attach itself to the side of the uterus in order for it to actually grow into anything. When the walls thicken, it prevents the egg from attaching, and even if the egg is fertilized you have a barrier against pregnancy.

My girlfriend and I have been using the second kind for four years and have had no problems, even when we've gone unprotected. Pregnancy is the only thing we worry about (both tested long ago) and we've never had a scare with or without a condom.

Though, thankfully her periods are like clockwork when she's on birth control.

Birth control regulates periods, reduces cramping, helps with mood swings/makes it worse, reduces bleeding days, can make you lose or gain weight (cup size!), calm down your hormones so less acne OR increase in acne, etc. I know people that do this and don't get pregnant, there's always a chance it will. Birth control is protection, it isn't 100% effective so you could have unprotected (condoms) sex but there's a chance you'll get preg. That's why the pill and a condom together is effective. A condom alone is still good protection but if it breaks, there's no "extra" shield like the pill.

The pill is hormones, chemicals, etc. It controls out bodies. Basically it keeps your ovaries from releasing eggs and getting contact with sperm. Which is what I meant by shield. The pill also thickens a woman’s cervical mucus which blocks sperm.

It also protects you from abnormal breast growths, cancers (ovarian for example), PMS symptoms, anemia (iron deficiency) and vaginal dryness.

If you're going to do it, then go to a pharmacy and buy plan B. I wouldn't make unprotected (condoms!) sex a habit, every so often.. is alright if you're taking the pill daily AND have BACK UP *ready*

Women still get pregnant while on the pill, esp. if there's no condoms. A least 1 in 100 yearly.

Birth control isnt 100% effective. Yes it REDUCES the risk but there still is a slight chance you could get pregnant. I wouldnt recommend him cumming in you with/without a condom unless you're ready to deal with the possible outcome of it. I know someone who their boyfriend hardly ever pulls out and shes never gotten pregnant but also know people who use a control and birth control and still got pregnant. Its a risky thing but its really your choice.
