Should I take birth control in LDR?

I’m in long distance relationship with my boyfriend for the past few months and so far we see each other every 2-3 months and I’ll be seeing him next month for about a week. I’ve never been on birth control but have been suggested to take it due to my hormonal imbalance. I was thinking of taking the pill so we have two methods of protection but idk if it’s silly to do since we’re in a ldr but I also stress about only relying on a condom also.
