Is it normal that i don't trust my girlfriend on the pill?

My girlfriend tells me that I don't have to wear condoms anymore because she's on The Pill. I'm just so worried that she's going to get pregnant. It's not that I don't trust her, or even that I don't think she's taking it. But I'm just worried that it won't work and she'll end up pregnant.

  • Wear a condom. You should never trust someone 100% because you don't know what they are thinking. You can trust her and protect yourself just incase. You think you're the first guy to be stuck in the same situation, trusted them, she ends up pregnant because she wanted to be pregnant and didn't consider if the man was ready.

    Men HAVE to protect themselves in these situations because unlike women, they have no safety net and if you do not protect yourself then you are at full risk.

    Protect yourself. Nobody should be trusted 100%. If you don't protect yourself then it will be too late for you to reconsider once it happens.

    Protect yourself.

    All my ex girlfriends were on 'The Pill'.

    I haven't had sex with a condom once.

    And there have been no abortions, no unwanted pregnancy.

    I mean, the odds are definitely in your favour, but if you don't want to take even a 1% risk, I get that; put a lid on it. No point worrying every time you have sex.

    you'd be surprised at how many times a girl forgets to take the pill, so while she might say she is diligent on taking it every single day at the same hour, theres a chance she missed skipped or even forgot to take the pill. The prescription itself knows this and has a lenghty "What to do in case you forget to take pill", and these instructions are long and exact.

    my advice to you is protect YOURSELF, while she has her pill which we hope she is taking, take your own precautions as well

    I still made my partner wear condoms when I was on the pill. That's a huge responsibility, explain how you feel to her.

    It really isn't unheard of to get pregnant while on the pill. I know a brother and a sister who were both accidental pregnancies despite their mother being on the pill at the time of their conception. Bottom line is if you aren't comfortable with it, then don't do it. She should understand and respect your feelings. I happen to love unprotected sex, but it makes my boyfriend extremely uneasy, so out of respect for him I don't nag him about it. Sometimes in the heat of the moment I get my way, so I'm content with that :)

    It's normal. I mean I'm a girl, but I'd still say wrap it, because there's no way in hell I'm popping one out any time soon, and besides I wouldn't want to put that emotional stress on a guy.

    However, if you don't wear one, and if she does accidentally get pregnant from that 1%, you gotta figure out if you'd be willing to be a Popsicle, or stick with her during the pregnancy. If your answers no, then I say keep wearing a condom and just explain to her that it's not that you don't trust her, it's that possible 1% chance, as well as a bunch of other factors that could possibly happen, ex: strong swimmers, missed a pill, (if she was sick) medication while on the pill, etc..

    It's kind of normal. It's usually the woman that worries about this kind of thing. Her body, her doctor, her pills... Errr, BOTH ur responsibilities. Have u tried sex with put a.condom? Lol. It's a million times better than having a I chunk if latex strangling ur dick and removing 90% of friction and feeling. My girl forgets her pill every once in a while. As long as u take it atleast close to every day ur pretty covered. When taken correctly, birth control is actually more effective than condoms and spermicide combined. Look up the %s. It's like a 99.2% chance it'll work if taken right. Look, if she's taking it right, ur gonna be a millionaire if she gets knocked up lol so live it up. Jam that shit up there. ;)

    Pregnancy is always possible, with or without birth control. Hormonal birth control such as the pill just highly reduces the risk of pregnancy, by 99.9% when used effectively.

    Since you're a guy I'm guessing you didn't consider this, but the pill actually prevents pregnancy in 3 ways - it prevents ovulation. No egg to fertilise, no baby. It thickens cervical mucus, and it changes the uterine lining in such a way that its highly unreceptive to a blastocyte (fertilised egg).

    The pill has a million other health benefits, so don't try tell her not to take it.

      Uh, he's not telling his gf to NOT take the pill, he just doesn't think it'll be 100% full proof -- he wants to be extra careful, so he wants to use the condom.

    Well, aren't you a bit schizophrenic? "I don't trust my girlfriend" but then "It's not that I don't trust her". DUDE, you can't have it both ways, really, you can't. My advice is to stop fucking this girl until you get a handle on your emotions, and figure out why you can't trust your gf or birth control, which is like 99% effective. Or just keep wearing a rubber.

    • Did you even read what I wrote?

      I do trust her, it's just that I don't trust that the pill will always work and she'll get pregnant. It has nothing to do with her.

        did you know even skipping a few pills or being on antibiotics can make the pill a lot less effective?

        Did YOU read what you wrote? oops.
        You wrote this shit, NOT I; "I don't trust my girlfriend" but then "It's not that I don't trust her".
        Don't go jumping down my fucking throat because you are incapable of communicating your thoughts in a coherent manner.
