Do you need to use a condom if on birth control?

Absolutely YES! Birth control pills only protect you from getting pregnant. Condoms, while not foolproof, will protect you from STDs.


Girlfriend switched birth controls please help?

Well, I am not sure what you need help with. Generally switching birth control pills isn't a problem. You do need to wear a condom until she finishes her first complete pack (or month's worth) of the new kind of birth control pills before you have sex without a condom.


Can you be pregnant if your a week late on your period even though you used a condom?

Yes. But only if the condom broke or was expired. You should also be on some kind of birth control pills. I reccomend Yaz . With both, pregnancy is at such a low rate you have no need to worry.


Do you still have to use a condom when your taking birth control?

Birth control is 99.9% effective when taken properly, so you do not need a condom to protect yourself from pregnancy. However, if you are not in a monogamous relationship; meaning, if you have more than one intimate partner, you should use condoms to protect yourself from STI/STD's.


Do you need to wear a condom when she is on the pill?

Wearing a condom when she is on the pill will help prevent the transmission of sexual disease and lower the chance of conception. The pill does not prevent STD's. No form of birth control is 100% effective except for abstinence.

If a woman possible has sperm inside her and then urniates directly after will it kill the sperm?

No it will not. However it may help prevent urinary tract infections. If you don't want sperm in there you need to use a condom or some other form of birth control. pulling out, douching, urinating after sex, wearing a jar of gypsy tears around your neck are NOT birth control. Condoms and birth control pills are both very effective if used properly.


If I take my non birth control a week early will my birth contorl not work?

Because you took your non active pills instead of the active pills this has basically interfered with birth control protecting you against pregnancy and has also messed up your cycle. You must ALWAYS take birth control as prescribed. You need to use a condom for the next 4 weeks to prevent pregnancy and take your birth control as normal.


What happens if you start a new birth control pack a week late?

You will not be protected against pregnancy and your period may arrive late. You need to use a condom for 2 weeks.


If I usually take my birth control at 8AM and didn't take it until 11PM do I need i back up plan?

YES. If you dont take your pill by like 3 hours after your usual time, you need to get a back up birth control(like a condom). If you have unprotected sex, then consider the morning after pill or Plan B.


Do you need protecion to even though your boyfriend is using a condom?

Condoms are 99% effective but all it takes is that 1% or it breaks and you're pregnant! The best combination is condoms and birth control pills.


If you're on birth control there's no need to use a condom?

BCP do not protect against STI's or HIV. If you and your partner are sexually monogamous with a prior clean slate for STD's you do not need a condom. Many woman use a condom just to prevent that tiny little chance of pregnancy, the pill is 99.5% effective when used as directed. Using a condom gives piece of mind if there is ever a forgotten BCP. What you don't need to use while on BCP is Emergency Contraceptives for condom breakage etc. The OCP at 99.5% protection is well over the protection one would get from the ECP.
