I was still shitting my pants for a few weeks waiting to see if she got her period, she did and was so relieved. Even thou the pill is 97 - 99 % effective there is still always that 1% or 3% chance that your launched into parenthood. Also, the pill will make her period come on the same day usually or around a two day margin. You make it seem as if the pill is worse than a condom in effectiveness although it is the other way around and the pill is in fact the safest method. Just check the Pearl-Index it show which are the safest methods: sterilization 0.1 - 0.4 pill 0.1 - 1 loop 0.1 - 2 temperature measurement 1 - 2 condom 3 | ||

The pill is extremely effective (usually quoted in the 99.x% range) but requires dedication and discipline on the side of the woman. For some guys, this is a bit of a mind-fuck because you are putting your fate(s) completely in her hands. It's worth it if it's someone you trust, but not so much if you're just horny teens having the "oh shit I don't have a condom" "don't worry, I'm on the pill (wink wink)" types of conversations. As far as side effects go, the only things you ever see listed are a higher risk of heart problems and blood clots - but this has more to do with medical history than anything else. Other minor side-effects might be a touch of nausea, sensitivity, etc. Nothing major. So for what you're looking for, the pill is a good option. You hear the odd horror story of people getting pregnant while on the pill but you can often trace that back to a lazy pill-taker. You *can't* skip a day on the pill and you have to wait a while (I believe about a month or so) after starting to take the drug before having condom-free sex. Either way, it's prescribed by a doctor so any good doc should be able to monitor your lady-friend over the initial period to ensure she isn't experiencing any negative side-effects. | ||

condoms are too big of a hassle for any long term relationship i think, assuming you're both clean of sdts but just test yourself if you've had any relations that could have given you any ;p definitely dont do a 2 year thing or whatever right off the bat, try something else first, if you forget patch or pills then just use condoms for whatever required period, get your gf to talk to gynecologist / doctor about it  | ||

IUD is also very good. Those 2 are what you should do. Condoms are NO FUN over an extended period of time. Seriously, one of these. Safe, always work, and convenient. | ||

So instead of a 1% chance of getting pregnant every time you have sex, it's more like a 1% chance of getting pregnant every year. | ||
