Condoms or pull out?

Question

Y'all probably looked at the title and was like ok dumbass obviously condoms. But hear me out. Firstly, I'm on the pill religiously. Been on it for years and I don't miss. I've used condoms in the past but they kept breaking! Size was right, added more lubrication too and the entire time I kept worrying they would break and he'd accidentally finish inside me. Been using pull out method ever since but still had anxiety about somehow winding up pregnant. Basically I'm just a MF worrier all the time even when I shouldn't be, it's just my personality for all things. Should I go back w condoms or keep at it with the pull out and shake off any worries?

Answer

If you’re taking the pill religiously then you should be fine either way, nothing is 100% effective.

Answer

I'm pregnant from taking the pill without condoms. If you're not in a place for a baby, use a condom and pull out.

Answer

I had been on the pill for 3 years. My SO came inside pretty much every time. But now that we are TTC, I’m still not pregnant after a year of no birth control 😒. So I think it probably really just depends on the couple and how fertile each one is.

Answer

If ur on a combination pill & taking it properly/consistently, then ur 99.7% protected by the pills alone. If u add pulling out, protection is 99.8%. If u add condoms, it’s 99.9%. So, regardless, ur very well protected! If u would rather not use condoms but still want a little more protection, then u can use spermicide or even a cervical sponge along with the pills & pulling out. It’s all up to u & what ur comfortable with. Personally speaking, I was previously on the pill for 5 years & was a perfect user, mainly used pulling out in addition to the pills but occasionally didn’t pull out, and I never got pregnant.
