Also, most people do not take antiboitics everyday. You could abstain in the event you do take them.

I think hormones and condoms will cover it.

I know that people who take some prescription medications daily may not be covered though.
I'm also referring to the discipline it takes. You have to take it at the same time every day. You'd think that's a simple task, but it's not always that easy.

Alcohol also creates issues. Perhaps that is just with my brand, but I've been warned by my doc about it, along with any oral meds aside from aspirin/vitamin types.


The pill is not the best method because of the high probability of human error.

That was found out later on down the line.

But if op is other wise healthy and using these 2 forms of birth control, she should really be fine.
It's not paranoia. It's fact that the pill is not foolproof. Look at your own example... they didn't know what it was doing to the effectiveness of your bc.

I also agreed with your post, ya know. I do think the OP is quite the bit paranoid, however.

A little bit more graphic than I would like it to be but its hard to explain otherwise. I dated a girl who had an irrational fear of pregnancy. She was on the pill and I used a condom and she STILL would freak out and lose sleep over her period being a couple of days late. She also would freak out if I somehow touched myself and then proceeded to touch her, presence of fluids or not.

Anyway, I think that is what your looking for OP. She was one of those that freaked over everything. My girlfriend following her had zero fear about it and would even suggest I go without protection to which I replied "Hell NO!! Are you crazy?!?!"

The OP has said in that past that women should have sex like men, but I think that until there's a 100% effective birth control that's not going to happen. There's a good reason why I'm really picky about who I sleep with.

Well, if your period is a couple days late, it is hard not to think of what ifs, if you are someone who is normally quite regular.

I freak out personally and never transfer that anxiety to my bf. I dont think he even knows that I have this fear. He has OCD, so he always wears a condom regardless. I dont ever get my period on Implanon so its hard to tell sometimes (without testing) if I am still in the clear.

If your fear is as relevant as you are explaining here, he probably knows it, even though you think he may not.

if you plan on keeping him, tell him to get a vasectomy. I plan on doing so as soon as I have my two kids (one son, one daughter, two years apart).
