How much do you trust the pill to prevent pregnancy?

Question

(In a monogamous relationship)

Answer

It's always frustrating to have friends/coworkers/my mother tell me birth control isn't effective because they know so and so who got pregnant on birth control. If you're responsible and take it correctly, it's so wonderfully effective. The people that get pregnant on it are the people people who take it at 6pm one day, midnight the next, 3 in the afternoon the day after that..

Answer

Why would anyone not trust the pill? Is 99.7% effectiveness not enough?

Answer

I just started the pill and I think it makes me nervous that I don't know if it will work or not. I always worry about being that 1 percent even though I'm sure I have nothing to worry about.

Answer

I've been on the pill for about 6 years.. I'm allergic to condoms... So I don't use them really and I've never had an issue:))

Answer

I've been on it for 4-5 months now and my boyfriend still insists on pulling out

Answer

I trust it as long as I have been responsible with taking it. Uv been in it for 2 years and have had unprotected sex for 1 & 1/2 years using the pull out method maybe 25% if the time.

Answer

Well I don't trust it so much. It's only 99.99% accurate. There is still that .01% that you could wind up pregnant.

Answer

I've been on the pill for 3 months and just started a new one. My boyfriend and I just started having unprotected sex and it makes me so nervous! I also take antibiotics and antidepressants- could that affect the birth control?!!!

Answer

Me and my fiancé don't use condoms and I'm on the pill. I have a somewhat fear of being that one percent but I mostly trust it because I always clean up afterwards. Seems to have worked so far
