Here Is a Question.....
Posted: 10-13-07 16:04pm

How do two people who had a condom break on them not be so paranoid next time around?? My boyfriend and I had this happen and it's hard for me not to be freaked out. Well, thank god im on birth control. Im just curious =) couldn't find a topic for this one!! If someone wouldn't mind answering.

Birth control pills are 99% effective if taken correctly without using a condom. A condom is just extra protection.

This means, you don't need to use a condom if you are on birth control. It is just really great that you do.

Don't worry.

If you are on birth control then there really is nothing to worry about so remember that! Smile
I understand your concerns but just make sure you've not snagged the condom before next time and enjoy!!

You can use lubricant, it makes it less likely that the condom will break. Also, if you get a pack of plan b and just keep it handy, you might feel better because if you're ever concerned, you can take it.

Heavy C I've been taking YAZ for three months and I like it I really don't want to switch to something else.

YAZ is meant to be an 'ONLY' form of BC used, so condoms would be optional if STD's are a factor.

You do not need condoms for BC use, but it certainly does not hurt.

No STD's here we just do that to be EXTRA safe we even bought condoms that
have spermicide in it.
