How can i be sure my birth control is working?
Ok yes i know i could figure it out by having sex but like that seems to risky and i've been on the pill for a few months, like 6 or 7 months maybe more but the thing is i didnt start using it for having sex, it was for my skin. So i havent really been very punctual about it. Sometimes a few hours off and every rare once in awhile i miss a day and just take two the next day but that happens rarely. My period is extremely regular i get it on the exact same day every month, if that'll help. I just wanna know if its safe for me to have sex without a condom or is it too risky?

Is it safe, not necessarily. Regardless of how well-protected against pregnancy you are, you're only protected against STDs if you're using a condom. Unless both you and your partner have been tested and you know for sure that you're both STD-free, then no, having sex without a condom isn't safe.
As far as being protected against pregnancy, however, you should be okay. If you really want to be sure and avoid worrying about it, go ahead and use a condom anyway. A condom and birth control pills together are far more effective than either one alone, and greater effectiveness is never a bad thing.

Its risky to have sex without a condom, but not because you will get pregnant. :) Because some STD's can actually be life threatening, I can't tell you not using a condom is without risk.
If you have been on the pill for 6 or 7 months, you should be protected from pregnancy. I know everyone thinks you have to take it at the same time every day. That really isn't true. Taking it at the same time every day simply helps remind you to take it. If you take it everyday with breakfast, for example, it becomes a habit. So, being a few hours off is not a big deal. The thing is to remember to take it.
You don't want to miss one if you're using it for protection against pregnancy. If you have been taking it a while, chances are slim you would get pregnant, but that's a chance you don't want to take.
Rest assured that the pills you are taking for skin care will work just fine as a birth control.
Just don't forget to take one. There is no real test to tell if its working.

i can say from experience that it's alright to have sex without a condom. But it is wise to not do it if you skiped a pill the night before. If it worries you too much then just to stay extra safe, then use a condom. just keep watch.
