When you say "birth control," do you mean
the pill? The pill is about 99% effective
when used alone. Condoms are about 97%
effective when used alone.
If you are on the pill and using condoms,
there is no reason to take the morning
after pill after sex unless the condom
broke and you have not been taking your
pill consistently. The morning after pill
is not intended to be used after every act
of sex.

i'm pretty consistent on birth control
(marvelon) pill. but my partner suggested
we take the morning after pill just to be
on the safe side, is morning after pill
plus the two condom and birth control
effective enough or was that pushing it?

Two condoms on at the same time? That's
actually a very bad idea. Two condoms can
rub against each other and cause frequent
breakage.
But the point is, you're on birth control
pills. You will most likely not get
pregnant, they are nearly 100% effective
as the other poster said. The pills alone,
all by themselves, are almost 100%
effective - if taken correctly.
Condoms, alone, with no pills, are almost
100% effective - when used correctly.
Condoms and the pill mean your chances of
becoming pregnant are almost zero.
There is absolutely no reason to waste
your money on the morning after pill. It's
useless, as birth control is already
preventing ovulation. You do not need it.
You are going way too overboard.

sorry i guess i wrote that wrong, two
METHODS lol not 2 condoms
if morning after pill was taken? would it
just be of no use considering the other 2
methods of protection? or would it reduce
all risks completely if so happened to get
pregnant with pill and condom?

I would say it would be useless to take
the morning after pill. You've already
reduced your risks to zero by using a
condom and the pill.
What are you going to do? Throw away $40
every single time you have sex? That's
ridiculous. Trust science. Condoms and the
pill aren't recommended because they don't
work. They're recommended because they
do.

Not to mention putting those extra
hormones or whatever into your body when
you don't need them.
Eiri is right. Sometimes there is a fine
line between being careful and just plan
going overboard. You're going overboard
at this point.
