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.
