Birth Control and pulling out Posted: 05-15-08 08:34am
Ok. Blunt and straight to the point. This
might even sound like a dumb question to
ask.
My fiance and I are not using condoms (a
decision made by both of us). I am on
birth control. Is it necessary to pull
out? Will I be covered if he ejaculates
inside me?
Some
say yes, others say no. Help?

you should be if you take your pills
correctly...pulling out isn't a very
effective method at all anyway, its more
psychological than anything i think..."if
we pull out i cant get pregnant"...not
true..most pills prevent pregnancy 3
different ways :prevents ovulation, makes
the mucous much thicker making it more
difficult for the sperm to reach the egg
if ovulation does happen to occur, and it
does something to the uterine lining which
makes it more difficult for the
fertilization to occur as well...so
pulling out I've been told personally
really makes no difference at all, its
just a preference really and all in your
head, maybe there are others that think
differently

You should be fine, taking BC alone will
prevent you from pregnancy, although it
will not protect you against STIs which is
where the condom comes in! Good to hear
that you are taking BC seriously!
Pulling out is NOT effective at preventing
pregnancy when you are not using any form
of BC as I have been told that it is
possible to get pregnant from the precum

Of course you'll be covered if he
ejaculates inside you...
if you weren't, why would you bother
taking birth control??
Of course, it's not 100% effective... but
it's pretty close. Pulling out is not
reliable, the pill is. Just make sure
you're taking it reliably, not throwing up
after you take it, and not taking other
medications (or herbal supplements) that
make it ineffective.
