Whew, glad I found a forum dedicated to
birth control. Here is my background:
my girlfriend and I have been having sex
for about 6 weeks now, only contraceptive
we've been using are condoms. Recently,
her dad found one of our condoms (kinda
embarrassing, but whatever) so now my
girlfriend is becoming more adamant about
exploring other birth control methods like
the pill. I have some questions:
1. Where should be get "the pills" from?
Prescription I assume?
2. If she's on the pill, should I
continue to use a condom? <-- this is
assuming she doesn't forget to take the
pill any day out of the month of course.
3. How much will it cost?
Thanks.

Hi there.
The pill doesnt cost you a thing, she will
go to the doctors, they will check her
blood pressure and weight and they will
find the right one for her. Then the
doctor will prescribe it.
If shes honest with you she will tell you
whether she has forgotten to take it for
whatever reason, then you should use other
protection. Otherwise get yourselfs both
checked out and if your both clean then
there is no reason to use a condom.
Hope that helps

I would still use a condom if you have
them around.....2 is always better than
one and the pill is not 100%
effective....Its always better to be safe
than sorry...My boyfriend and I use both
because I know way too many people that
have had babies while on the pill and I
dont want to be one of them.
