Q: Percent Chance..

I've read that birth control is 99% effective or something around that. Does that mean that if a couple is having sex without condoms and the girl is on the pill, that odds are she'll still get pregnant if they have sex 100 times? And does that also mean that you're not supposed to come inside a girl even if she is on the pill? Sorry this may seem like a dumb question but I don't know all that much detail about birth control, i've been using condoms!

Thanks a lot!

No, what that means is 1 out of 100 women who are on the pill will get preg (during the course of a year, I think). You can ejaculate in her if she's on the pill. But, if you are really concerned about preg better safe than sorry. Use a condom too. And the #1 reason to use a condom -prevent some incurable, and some deadly stds.
