Yes! Condoms DO prevent pregnancy! They are also used to protect you from STI's.

The pill only protects you 98% so there is the 2% chance of falling pregnant while on the pill. The pill does NOT protect you from STI's.

You're better off to be safe then sorry, so my advice is to take the pill AND use a condom. :)

Does two condoms prevent pregnancy better?

Not necessarily, one condom will do the trick! 2 condoms would usually create more friction between the two which will cause the condom to rip.

No, there are few things that can help prevent pregnancy outside of standard birth control methods (condoms, contraceptive pills, etc.). It does, however, give the woman a better shot at an orgasm!

Prenatal vitamins are to make sure you have enough vitamins and minerals to support a pregnancy. Birth control is to prevent pregnancy. They have different purposes. Birth control does not support a pregnancy, and prenatal vitamins do not prevent pregnancy.


What is the proper use of a condom?

Condoms are used to help prevent pregnancy. If the condom is lubricated the male would slip on the non lubricated side, if the condom is not lubricated then it doesn't matter how it is put on. You should put the condom on whan your penis is fully erect. It is said that if you're trying to prevent aids the best one to use is latex for better chances.

Is there a comparison chart for condoms?

Well I am pretty sure that there is a comparison chart for condoms. I mean u would want to know as a man or women which brand is better to use correct. You want something that will prevent you from getting STD'S and so on. Unfortunately it doesn't protect a 100% against STD'S. So it is better to be safe then sorry.


Can you get pregnant by only coming in a couple of times?

If you mean "ejaculating a couple times" then most certainly. If you literally mean "penetrating" a couple times, then it is possible. The reason that both are possible is that through ejaculation and pre-ejaculation which happens even in penetration there is sperm that is capable of getting a female pregnant. I suggest using condoms to prevent all unwanted pregnancies. As "inconvenient" as condoms may be or seem, it is much better than the female getting pregnant and having to deal with an abortion or pregnancy when she or the two of you are ready.


How high is the possibility of pregnancy after intercourse?

Things used to destroy pregnancy?

If your referring to how to prevent pregnancy, there is a few methods. Condoms are one (a latex cover over the males sex organ). This is not 100% fool proof but it is better then nothing. Another is Birth Control (a pill that regulates the females reproductive system). Again this is not 100% fool proof but its safer then condoms. If used together, the chances are slimmed as well. Another thing to consider is the timing of having sex. Studies show that if you have sex the week after the completion of a females period, the risk is reduced even more. Though the only 100% safe, is the tried and true abstinence. If you do not have sex, then you cannot get pregnant.


You took a pregnancy test a week before you are due on and it come out negative but you have had a lot of unprotected sex and a lot of pregnancy symptoms could you still be pregnant?

Yup. Better head on back to Rite Aid and stock up on those tests. Oh, and why don't you buy some condoms while you're at it?


Does penicillin vk effect birth control pills effectiveness?

Birth ontrol pills may not work as well while you are using Penicillin-VK . To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).


What happens if you take 11 paracetamol tablets on one day of pregnancy?

One day of pregnancy means you had sex about 7-10 days ago and I don't think that is what you mean. It takes about 3 days for the egg to get fertilized and an additional 7 days until the egg is attached. 11 paracetamol is not good for you or the kidneys and it will not prevent pregnancy working as the morning after pill nor will it make you abort. Better to take the morning after pill or have the coil fitted which can prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after sex.
