Curious about Birth Control & Condoms

I’m really curious about going back to BCP (Birth Control) since I’ve used it last year but it never did anything. I had to take birth control not because I was sexually active but I needed it for my hemoglobin count since I had a lesser count of it. My doctor had to double my dosage and intake since it wasn’t doing anything for me, but after doubling my intake, nothing changed.

I’ve read from articles that using birth control can have its effects and its not good to keep putting hormones in us. I was worried since I did have my birth control dosage a little higher too.

Do you think birth control is necessary when being active in sex? I’ve recently lost my virginity 2 days ago and my partner wants me back on BCP, he’s not pushing me but he wants to be extra safe. We both are practicing safe sex by using condoms tho.
