Can you
Can you be on the BC pill, BC shot, and use a condom all at once?
I know you can be on the pill and condom, but I'm not sure about the shot, pill, and condom.
Also, what do you think the chances of pregnancy are with all three of these birth control methods?

I don't think you can be put on both. Your Dr. will ask you which one you can be on. If your that worried about getting pregnant don't have sex sweetie. And just so you know never double condoms up... the friction can cause them to break.
hope I helped.

I don't think you can be on both birth control pills and the shot at the same time. The best way to decrease your chance of pregnancy is to use birth control pills (and take them at the same time every day), spermidical condoms (not the extra-thin kind), have the guy pull out when he comes, and take Plan B if you miss a pill. However, it's obviously still not 100%.

Because the pill and the shot alter your body's chemistry, they could interact in a harmful way.
My suggestion would be to use the shot and condoms, based on personal experience.
The shot has a higher prevention rate(97-99.7% vs. 92-99.7%) , since it's much easier to use. Just once, and you forget about it for three months. The pill is kind of temperamental that way... if you forget to take it, or take it at the wrong time, or if you throw up, things are messed up. Also, the shot keeps you from having periods, which is pretty fantastic in my book!
Condoms on their own have an 85-98% success rate. This is because so much can go wrong with them on their own.
Thing is, when using both methods, there is a very, very slim chance of getting pregnant. Like, maybe ).01% chance. Both methods would have to fail at exactly the same time.

I doubt you can have the pill and the shot at once. You only need the pill & the condom.
With a birth control pill & a condom, the chances are slim, but still there. Probably around a 2% chance.
