Birth Control (balziva)/withdrawal Method = How Great Is My Risk Posted: 12-13-07 12:39pm
First, let me start out with the fact that
I have been on birth control for two
years. I am nineteen years old. I was
originally on birth control due to
possibly having endometriosis, and never
intended to have sex until I met my
current boyfriend, whom I did lose my
virginity to last month.
I use to be very lazy with my pills;
taking them from anywhere to 2-4 hours
late and, at times, forgetting to take
them at night (I take them at 10:30PM)
therefore taking them the next morning.
This cycle (this packet), I've taken every
one on the dot since we've started having
sex. We had sex without a condom about a
week into my cycle, and he also pulled
out. I know that both the pull out method
AND birth control have a failure rate.
Is the neglect from previous cycles going
to drastically increase my chances of
pregnancy, or do you think I'm okay?

No, you are fine now if you are taking
them correctly. And not pulling out si not
unprotected. You are protected from the bc
but doing it is an extra precaution! Your
chance of getting pregnant is extremly low
doing both. They only have failure rates
it the bc was taken incorrectly or in a
few cases (including me) it just didn't
work. And pull out is a very bad way of
protection (hence my first child!) but
using both is great!!!! I think you are
doing exactly what you should be keep it
up!
