worried about condoms???

Question

i wanna have sex w my boyfriend and obviously we'd use protection because i'm only almost 17 and definitely am not trying to get pregnant. however, there's no way for me to use the pill and i'm really nervous that if we use a condom it could break. my mom raised me on her own (most likely because i was an accident - that's my theory anyways) until i was 9 so i'm just scared of the same thing happening to me. are condoms reliable enough? i know no form of birth control is 100% effective but i'm ready for this next step in our relationship i'm just scared about getting pregnant..

Answer

If you don't mind me asking, why can't you take birth control? I believe there are some centres and doctors who can provide it without parental consent.
You are right about the risk with condoms. They are not 100% protection. Combined with birth control though you would be pretty safe.

Answer

If you can find a free clinic like planned parenthood you can be prescribed birth control without a parents consent. Also condoms along with the pull out method should do the trick if you absolutely cannot get on a form of bc. Also you should tell your boyfriend to get tested for STDs and talk about the risks of having sex (I.e. And unplanned pregnancy) talk about your options and what you would both want if you ended up pregnant. Things like that and don't be afraid to ask those questions it's for your body's safety and well being❤

Answer

Neither are 100% as you mentioned. I know many people who have become pregnant using condoms and birth control methods (pill, shot and 2 using the IUD).

I recommend talking to your mother and discuss options with a physician. Have your bf tested for STDs also.

Be safe and know that any form of protection you use, you are able to become pregnant. Ask yourself if you are ready to care for a child if you do become pregnant.

Answer

From what I've heard condoms break bc you get too dry so I'd say as long as you're wet enough or use lube you'll be fine and make sure to not have sex the entire week you will be ovulating to be extra safe and have fun (:

Answer

There's clinics around that can provide you with birth control without your mom knowing if that's the issue you're having! But condoms, of course, can break. It's still safe sex but usually if they break you can feel it. It's safer then nothing girl!

Answer

You can typically feel when a condom breaks - everything suddenly turns a lot smoother and slicker. If you decide to go for it, just don't use the ultra thin kind. They break way more often than the regular variety of most brands. Trojan ultra thin broke 3 times in one box for us! Unbelievable. But still be careful especially if you're not very experienced with sex and if you have no secondary protection.

Answer

Look up FAM.
I use that natural birth control method with my boyfriend, and i have NEVER gotten pregnant. I dont use a condom or pill.
