Hi everyone,

I've already googled the stats on my situation, so I am feeling pretty ok about it all, but I was just hoping to get a little more feedback from real poeple in the same situation.

I am in a commited relationship and my boyfriend and I have both been tested for STI's and I take a mini pill (progestin only, micronor) for birth control.  About a month ago we decided to stop using condoms.  He has not used condoms in the past when in commited relationships and like I said, he gets tested every six months, however this is a first for me, I had always always used condoms.  So this is a little new for me and I am just feeling a little uneasy.  Not necessarily uneasy enough to use condoms again, because I know to some degree I am just being paranoid.  I was also quite paranoid about pregnancy even when I was using condoms AND birth control, so I think there will always be some level of paranoia for me.

So he always pulls out, and I know that isn't failproof, but with that plus the pill, I should be fine right?  The only thing is we had an oopsie moment and he came inside of me last night.  For some reason I haven't been very successful at reaching orgasm during sex with him, and we both reached it at the same time last night, so yeah, pulling out wasn't on our list of priorities last night, but I don't intend on that happening again as I am a little freaked out by it.

OK sorry to babble so much, but I guess what I am looking for is just other VP'ers that have condomless sex and to get their opinions on it and if one becomes more comfortable with it over time.  By the way, I am an almost perfect pill user, I take it to the minute every day (which is very important with the mini pill).  The latest I have ever been when having sex was 15 minutes and I read that it is not considered late enough to use back up protection until 3 hours.  Thanks!

You should be safe from pregnancy, since you take the pill so well. If you want to be a little more paranoid, you can also look into things like contraceptive sponges (e.g., www.todaysponge.com, the only brand I know of in the US).

*kicks the drugstore being built conveniently close: hurry up and open so I can buy sponges atcha!*
