If you combine condoms with another form of birth control, you should be fine. Realistically, using just condoms would be fine, but I understand if you're a bit paranoid about that. My boy and I use condoms, withdrawal, spermicide, and FAM, simply because I don't respond well to HBC. Yes, it's a lot of work to track my fertility, and sometimes we have to interrupt ourselves during play to slip on a condom and put a VCF in place, but it works. Really, percentage wise, by taking a condom and adding ANY other type of birth control/contraception to the mix, you're extremely close to 100% protected. Recently I got a pamphlet from PP, and it states that just with a condom and withdrawal, it's considered 100% effective done perfectly, otherwise around 98%. So don't worry too much, and I hope everything works out for you!
