All right, so I am with this girl who means a lot to me. We had broken up and gotten together before, and have slept together a few times.

Right now she is on birthcontrol, and she takes it respossibly every day. We both want to be able to have sex. She is completely ready for it and has no signs of worry. I know that by using a condom and her birthcontrol nothing should happen. I guess I still worry. Does anyone have any help that could calm down my mind?

No, I'm not. Not at all.

I am 18. She is 17

Birth control does NOT mean she can't get pregnant, or that neither of you can get an STD.


It just lowers your chances for both.

I got pregnant using a spermicide, the pill, and a condom--all 3 correctly--the second time I ever had sex.

If you're not ready to be a parent, don't have sex.

Remember that sex complicates relationships. Also, there are a lot of other links on the internet regarding contraception. In my opinion, using birth control and a condom with spermacide are going to be very safe for you to use. Read the directions of both carefully and ask the doctor about any concerns.

... you don't HAVE to have sex with this particular girl... all this worrying is telling you something. :)
