    Will I get pregnant?
    My boyfriend and I are planning to have sex but Im scared of ending up pregnant.

    We plan to use.
    A condom
    Spermicide (he's going to put some inside the condom, and outside )
    And plan b one step.
    (I will take the plan b 2 hours after having sex)

    If the condom rips but since the spermicide would already be inside me (from the condom and him qoinq in etc. Will I get pregnant?

    Am I safe if we use all 3?
    How safe will I be?
    Also I'm 19.
    Don't say not to have sex.

    As a labor and delivery nurse, I don't agree.

    On a personal note, I used the birth control pill AND a condom and got pregnant not once, but twice. I was also rendered sterile due to strong chemotherapy 15 years ago and I now have a 10 year old son.

    One of my colleagues on the site used the pill, condom AND spermicide and got pregnant.

    In the end, there is no 100% safe way to avoid pregnancy without avoiding sex altogether.

    I would also like to add that the Plan B should never be considered a form of birth control and should only be used very minimally.

    It is safer than not using anything at all, but all of them have a failure rate. Some more than others. Condoms have up to a 10 percent failure rate, and the rest can fail, lets say there is only a (estimate) 3 percent chance of pregnancy.

    How safe is that, if there were 100 guns laying out on the floor, only 3 are loaded, would you be OK to just pick up one and use it.
