I came off the pill, should I tell him?

Question

I recently came off of the pill, about 3 weeks ago to take a break and try some natural remedies. I haven't told my boyfriend because frankly, I don't want to make a big deal out of it. I have incredibly irregular periods and don't want to freak him out every time I miss a period, over literally nothing. We aren't trying, and I'm making sure he pulls out every time just in case, but do you think I should tell him I'm not on it anymore? 
I feel like I'm hiding a horrible secret from him, I normally tell him everything. I just don't want the added questions and caution that comes with telling him. He will either stop sleeping with me all together or will ignore all my warnings and then freak out when my periods late. 
Thoughts?

Answer

It's his right for him to know information like that because what happens if you do end up getting pregnant and you have to tell him you weren't even on the pills. You need to let him know so he doesn't make a mistake and shrug it off because he thinks your on birth control.

Answer

Tell him. Maybe try using condoms instead of the pull out method?

Answer

Tell him! You can still end up pregnant from the pull out method.

Answer

You absolutely need to tell him because the consequences would affect both of you. The pull out method isn't very effective because there can still be sperm in their pre-cum. He might also be more mindful of making sure he pulls out in time - right now, he thinks he has a backup. It will take lots of communication between you guys to keep his worries at bay when you're late and such, but I would just tell him that you're tracking everything but that you're irregular and will let him know when YOU'RE worried. I would definitely suggest using condoms and you can also suggest some other sexy activities (oral, hands-on, etc) while you're off bc.

Answer

What the heck yes you need to tell him! You can get pregnant from pull out. That's not an affective way at all to prevent pregnancy.

Answer

is this a joke? of course you need to tell him
