Hi- Im 19.
I recently started having sex with my current boyfriend.
Im on birthcontrol & he uses condoms.
Is that enough ?
Is there always els to protect myself against pregnancy ?
Wearing condoms when we are fooling around even if he does not penetrate ?
Thank you

If he doesn't penetrate then there is no use for condoms. It sounds like you are protecting yourself against pregnancy very well! No birth control is 100% effective so the most effective method would be abstinence. Also, make sure you don't skip any pills, if you do, it throws off your whole month of birth control :)

I have to agree with NS. If he is not penetrating you then there is no need for condoms. However, he is penetrating you isn't he? Otherwise you would not asked about the bleeding afterward and could it be due to your hymen breaking.

Now, as no birth control is 100% effective, using both forms like the pill and the condom is much much better than using just one form.

You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders. Just keep protecting yourself like you are to lessen the risk of pregnancy.

You don't need condoms if he doesn't penetrate.

As long as you take your birth control at the same time every day (I set an alarm on my phone so that I never forget) and he puts the condom on right, there's not much more you can do.
