Birth Control?

[football]

what exactly is it.. i mean i kno its a pill and all. But does it prevent pregnancy well? is it safe to not use a condom?

[RaisingSand]

The most effective form of birth control is the Pill (oral hormonal contraceptive, taken daily by the female) and a condom (worn by the male during intercourse).
The Pill helps prevent against an unwanted pregnancy, and the condom helps protect against STD's.
It is primary to make sure you are protected when having sex. Birth control is a MUST, and if you're irresponsible enough not to use protection when having sex, then you shouldn't be having it.

The pill is used to basically stop you from producing an egg that can be fertilized (and become a baby).

HOWEVER

By NO means should you NOT wear a condom. To keep you and your partner safe from STD's a condom is always a MUST HAVE.

[Danstevens]

The pill gives you increased levels of oestrogen and thus, revents the release of an ova (egg) from the ovaries but will not protect you or your partner from STDs so other protection is also necessary.

It is a great way to prevent pregnancy...but the codom is a sure way to protect yourself. I say use both.

[Beaarrr]

DEFINATELY wear a condom aswell.. better to be safe than sorry :)

[Patchy]

Condom = essential wear

its handy though cause if you don't put a condom on right and it bursts, the pill will make sure the girl doesnt get pregnant

[Techno Monster]

The pill does prevent pregnancy, but most people use a condom and the pill at the same time.

If you use a pill you have to make sure to use it regularly every day. That's what I've heard.

yes you do. But when you first start taking it you may want too take it for about a month before going to sexual activity.

there are birth control pills and they're your best bet if u dont want a kid (acurate like 98% of the time) but the only problem is u have to constintly take them and it can get pretty expensive because u have to take them every day for a certain amount of time before sex(time varies with brand). they work by making it so u dont have a period. u can also use a condom but if u do only use latex because the other ones can give u AIDS or other STDs.

IN CONCLUSION
your best bet take a pill and use a condom at the same time or just dont have sex before you can support a baby (ever seen Juno)
