How safe is the condom to not come out pregnant?

Does birth control cause miscarriage?

not typically
No it will not.
No. Answerif you are pregnant already why do you need birth control pills???
but then again I'm a guy what do i know!
No. More than likely the only thing that It would possibly do would be make you sick or maybe even harm the developing baby, but not miscarriage. If you have continued taking the pill unknowing that you were pregnant make sure to let ur doc know at ur next appt. If the pregnancy was unplanned and you were hoping to terminate the pregnancy you definatley need to stop taking or not begin to take the pill but seek help and advice from your local unplanned pregnancy clinic.
No.
Yes. Simply because Birth Control is used to prevent a pregnancy; however, it does not always work (like when you are taking other medications, commonly cold medications). Sometimes the person will become pregnant and not know it and then while continuing on the medication- miscarry. As far as I know there is no medical evidence to support this, however, if you believe you may be pregnant go see your doctor and stop taking the pills. Better safe than sorry I say.
What happens to sperm when you are on birth control?
Sperm is not affected by hormonal birth control; it does the same thing it does if you're not on birth control, except that there's some decrease in how much sperm can get into the uterus (due to thickening of the cervical mucus). Hormonal birth control affects the egg.
When should you start your period after the first month of birth control?
With oral birth control, when you are taking it for the first time, you should start taking it on the first day of your period. It will regulate your hormones, so that you should expect to have some sort of period during the week you take a break (if that's the sort of pill you are on). I am not familiar with the kinds of pills that are taken everyday, so I can't answer for those ones.
With the first kind, which I was on for eight years, you should also take the following precautions: Take it at roughly the same time every day, this will get you into a good habit of remembering to take it, say, after you brush your teeth, or when you get up. If you are late taking it, still take the pill, but not if it's the next morning as you shouldn't take a double dose.
If you:
Vomit or have diarrhea within 2 hours of taking the pill
Are on antibiotics while taking the pill
Are more than 12 hours late in taking the pill
These situations will mean that you are not protected, and in any of these cases you should also use condoms for seven days after the situaion has resolved,
i.e. tummy upsets (use condoms while you are sick and for seven days after you have recovered)
antibiotics (use condoms while you are on the medication and for seven days after you finish your course of medicine)
more than 12 hours late/miss a dose (use condoms for seven days AFTER you miss the dose, e.g. are late or miss it on Tuesday, use condoms from Wednesday to Tuesday AFTERWARDS)
Hope this helps, i know it's more than you asked for!

What does birth control do to men?
Birth control does not interfere with sexual activity. In vasectomy as is the general norm. Only the vas deferens is tied up. So a man will still be able to produce semen but it will not pass through the penis. It will instead be broken down and reabsorbed into the blood.

You are doing it without a condom and it starts burning?
If you mean penile penetration into the vagina or anus without a condom and your penis starts to burn, it is possible your partner has a vaginal infection OR the E Coli in the rectum is irritating your skin. If a woman has vaginal yeast infection, she will have a white clumpy discharge. If greenish, it is a trichomonis infection ("trich" pronounced like "trick" but spelled with an h). A female's fluid should be mostly clear, "like" water. E Coli can cause urinary infections in males or females. It is important to wear a condom to prevent pregnancy (vaginal sex) and prevent diseases and infection (vaginal or anal). When burning begins, stop, go wash with warm soapy water including the scotum, dry off and put on a condom.

Do Birth control pills help level out hormones?
Yes, they sure do!
It's a common myth, especially in young adult Women, that birth control is only used to "not get your pregnant", but this is just not true. Aside from decreasing the likelihood of birth, birth control pills can help regulate hormones and menstruation.
Not all types of birth control works with everyone, so if you're interested in taking them, consult your Doctor. There is bound to be one out there that works for you.
in 3,000 BC fish bladders, linen sheaths, and animal intestines were used as a sort of "condom". In the 1500's the fist spermicides were used by soaking condoms made of linen cloths sheaths in a chemical to kill the sperm, then left to dry before use. It wasn't until 1838 that condoms were made of vulcanized rubber. In 1960 the first oral contraceptive was invented. Within the 1960's the IUD was invented and distributed throughout the US. In the 1980's and 1990's implants and injection birth control methods were invented as well as low hormone birth control pills.

If you do you will be peeing on the guys dick and be might not be very happy about that but then again id he is getting something from you he might not mind very much if you pee on his dick.
What is the difference between barrier and hormonal contraceptive methods?
Barrier methods prevent the sperm from getting to the egg, usually by covering the penis, or by blocking the cervical opening. Non-hormonal IUDs work by irritating the lining of the uterus so that there is nowhere for the egg to implant itself even if it is fertilized.
Hormonal contraception changes the hormone cycle in the body to block ovulation. In this case, eggs are not released so there is nothing for the sperm to fertilize.
No birth control method is 100% effective, although hormonal ones typically have the highest rates of effectiveness. Some women report side effects (irregular bleeding, emotional/mood changes) from hormonal methods, however, that make them unpleasant or impossible to use.
Well hormones are not barriers, like condom, diaphrams, sponges, etc; while hormonal method is primarily chemical by nature, though there are some chemical barriers, such as foam or cream spermicides, but hormonal mean trick the femal body into act as if it is already pregnant so an egg is not release by the ovum.
