Actually birth control pills are safer than using a condom if you don't want to get pregnant. A condom can get destroyed but is of course better to protect one from an std.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't just take a birth control pill when you run out of condoms. Don't you have to be on the pill already? Unless you meant that OP should go on the pill, in which case it's still an FML coz she clearly wasn't on it at the time.

As a sufferer of blood clots I cannot take birth control pills. If you are thinking about getting put on them visit your doctor and do some tests, I wouldn't have even know I had a protein S def. Yes, they do take a while to get in your system before you can have unprotected sex. Still, I wouldn't have unprotected sex with a man that you've only been dating for a short period of time because of STDs. Also, I would suggest buying your own stash of condoms and hide them from him.

for most bc you have to have done one cycle for it to take effect hardly a quick fix unless you mean plan b. wouldnt be using that for bc though.

Not everyone can take birth control pills, because some people's systems don't handle the extra progesterone very well. This may lead to an increase in yeast infections, and other unpleasant vaginal conditions. In the express purpose of staying child-free and std free, yeah, they couldn't have sex. My doctor told me that I had to have sex with a condom for the first 7 days of the course of taking the pill, so you can't just take a pill and expect to be protected right away.

I'm on a low dose of the progesterone only pill which is less effective than the other birth control pills too, so my boyfriend and I use back of birth control methods. So some aren't even as effective as others. Also like one commenter said above me about some people not handling the extra progesterone, the same thing can happen with the extra levels of estrogen as well. Some people just aren't made to handle the extra hormones =)

Condoms don't protect from STDs. I learned that in sex ed. Condoms are as good at making babies as they are for protecting from STDs. Not good at all.

umm....hello? birth control doesn't always work. then again using both together aren't 100% fool proof. at least she is being cautious.

Yes. That's exactly what it is. OP hates awesome boyfriends.

it would still be annoying to have to stop, get dressed, head to the store buy condoms, come back, get undressed and start again. see i got frustrated just writing this, imagine what it would be like to live it.

How about you go spreading bad advice somewhere else?

You are a fool.
