Have been seeing my girlfriend for a while
now and started to have sex about a month
ago. Just wonderd if we use a condom and
it doesnt slip off or split is it still
possible for her to get pregnant. The
other thing is the pill, where would she
or I get it from? And how often does she
have to take them?

Manchester in england?
She'd get it from her regular doctor.
And yes, if you use just condoms 100%
correctly and no splits etc then there is
a 1-2% chance of pregnancy.
That is for every 100 couples using
condoms 1 or 2 of them will get pregnant.

or a planned parent hood and get some.

no, she needs to do it. The doctor needs
to give her a basic health check before
prescribing the contraceptive pill and
needs to prescribe one that is right for
her (this will be based on her health
check and medical history).
She can also go to a family planning
clinic http://www.Fpa.Org.Uk/helpn
ow/where/ instead.
If she doesn't want to ask her doctor for
contraceptives then stop having sex -
because if she gets pregnant it's going to
be a whole hell worse than just asking for
the pill.
Also make sure your condoms have the
british kite mark on them, are in date and
contain a spermicidal lubricant.
Never double condoms up as this increases
the risk of tearing and never use any oil
based lube with condoms.
Other than the birth control pill she
could also ask about the nuva ring as
well.
