on ditching condoms w/ the gf...

[nevadaJACK]

Clearly a solid brag now that she's on the Pill. Dear god, i had no clue what i was missing.

variance: not quite sure how comfortable i am w/ finishing inside her (despite it being awwwwwwwwwwwesome). So far, we've been relatively prudent; e.g. only finished inside near the end of her cycle (when pregnancy is v unlikely). also tried to be on the responsible side by having a frank 'what if...' conversation, in which we both agreed that we were on the same page about ending a pregnancy if it should happen accidentally.

Beyond that, not much more i can do other than Enjoy!...still, I'm a little nervous now that we're doing it at all times of the month...we don't use any other forms of protection (both got tested for everything / clean); she tells me she's v good about taking Pill at same time of day, every day.

I'm still a Pill noob, though; should i feel comfortable in its efficacy? It's apparently 97 - 99% effective for couples who use it over the course of 1 year. But FUUUUUUUUUUU**K, those few percentage points are scary.

The pill is much much more effective than condoms.

I believe the male pill when it comes out will be most effective of all.

Take a chance. And if it happens, you can just say

Right; the wording of it is that 1 to 3% of couples who rely on it exclusively for birth control will have an accidental pregnancy over the course of 1 year of use.

Lol, which one is it now, 1% or 3%? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I suppose it's the 99% confidence interval for their estimate of frequency, but still, it sounds so stupid.

As long as she doesn't miss a day the chance of her getting preggo isn't enough for you to worry about.
