Are you talking about pills here? If you are, pills (used correctly) will prevent pregnancy 99 times out of a hundred. Condoms will prevent pregnancy about 93 times out of a hundred. BUT, condoms also help prevent infection.

∙ 13y agoFor contraceptive purposes, it is very safe to rely on birth control solely. When used properly, most forms of hormonal contraception is around 98-99% effective at preventing pregnancy. To be safe against STD's, though, condoms should be used every time you participate in intercourse. You should only rely on birth control as your main form of protection if you are monogamous and your partner and you are both disease free.

How can you prevent pregnancy without using birth control or condoms?
Answer Having no sex at all.Without condoms or birth control you can't prevent pregnancy if you keep on having sex.First of all, without condoms you can spread all kinds of diseases if you or your partner carries HIV or any other STD's.Second, birth control is just the extra protection against pregnancy along with condoms, don't think you can just use birth control and go on without condoms. Unless you know for sure you or your partner don't carry HIV or any STD's and also don't mind about getting pregnant. Or you can have a surgery which does not go without risks and is non-reversible.

Should I use condoms or birth control?
You should definitely use something. Condoms prevent pregnancy and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). Birth control pills only prevent pregnancy. It is possible to use both, for double protection. If you are on birth control it is a good idea to use condoms too to protect against STDs. If you do not regularly have sex, you may prefer to use condoms, but if you regularly have sex then you may prefer birth control pills. With birth control pills you would need to remember to take them every day at around the same time. Even missing just one pill can lead to pregnancy. With condoms you would need to remember to have some ready to use. Thee are many different types of birth control pills and also many types of condoms. To find out more about birth control, speak to your doctor or nurse. To discuss both options and which would be best for you then I suggest going to an advice centre where they can give you information that will help you to make a decision. You could also discuss it with your doctor or nurse.

If you are concerned about becoming pregnant while starting your birth control you should use another form of contraception (condoms). Or just not have sex in that time. (You should probably use condoms anyway just as a safety measure as birth control does not protect against std's.)
