I am on The Pill, with my partner for 2 years, 100% sure of no STDs or STIs. Should we have 'unprotected' sex, although I am on The Pill?

ONLY if youre 100% sure of his no Disease and 100% sure that the pill is working at maximum

NEVER! have unprotected sex.

Unless your partner has been tested by a physician for STD's, you cannot be 100% sure he's clean. And the pill, while very, very effective, does absolutely not gaurantee you won't get pregnant. If you want to accept those risks, have unprotected sex.

first, unless you and your partner are 100% monogamous, i'd use other protection. also, even though the pill should give you low odds of getting pregnant *in theory*, people aren't always taking them perfectly & 1 in 20 women on the pill actually get pregnant according to the link below: http://www.fda.gov/Fdac/features/1997/conceptbl.html yikes! that is far higher than i thought it was (and i've looked that up a few times)... in the end, it's your call though.

It sounds like you should do some research on WHY the pill fails, specifically considering the stats for someone like yourself. (EG You take it 'properly', and have no history of other gyna..ol problems that might skew the stats badly, age, weight etc). This will give you more confidence in whatever you decide.

I would personally probably would, but take a look at you and your relationship. Make sure you've both been tested for STD's and if you're in a sturdy monogamous relationship... also if you're really good about taking your pill. Most women forget from time to time, but if you take it perfectly you'll have 99% protection from pregnancy. I know it's been two years, but you don't have to rush it. If you want to but aren't completely sure and get scared don't do it... I'd probably end up paranoid after every time (I'm a worry wart). :) good luck.

I would think very hard about having unprotected sex.. that being said.. I am a pill baby. Unplanned and my mother says she followed everything right to not cause a conflict while taking the pill. Not having sex is the only 100% way of not getting pregnant.. otherwise you take your chances. If you are not ready but would not be devasted by a pregnancy.. sure.. try it but know there is no guarantee. Two years is a good amount of time to be in a relationship and asking this .. that is awesome you have held out two years of not removing the condom.. but I would hope you are planning a life with this person before you do remove the condom. Good luck with whatever you decide.

The pill is only 99% effective. There is still a chance that you could release an egg and could get pregnant. If it's not a big issue for you to get pregnant, sure, why not. If you 100% don't want a baby- use condoms or another type of protection.

Nothing to do with me. Do you want a child?

This is a decision only you can make, because it's only YOUR life that depends on this decision. I've lived with my fiance for 6 years - he's as clean as the driven snow, a very sweet, shy farm boy with less prior partners than I had before I was 18. I MADE him get tested for STDs before we ever had sex, and even now, to this day, I still make him use condoms. Honestly, I hate them. I loooooooove sex without condoms. When we wanted to have a baby, and stopped using all birth control, including condoms, it was awesome. So I know what I'm missing. BUT even though I love him, and I trust that he'd never cheat, I can't ever be sure, and it's my LIFE I'm risking by not protecting myself. So that's why I continue to have him use a condom. But like I said - your decision. just think it through, and know what all the reprocussions are if either of you ever contracts an STD. Great, now I want to go have sex, instead of being at work, typing away on AB, and can't do a thing about it. I hate questions like this ! LOL

Coming from experience...if you're sure he's clean then GO FOR IT. Condoms are expensive after two years!! In all seriousness people can tout how the pill doesn't work and all but if you take it everyday like your supposed to, you'll be fine. I've been with someone for FOUR years doing the unprotected sex thing while on the pill, no problems whatsoever. We have a son now but that was on purpose. Actually you may want to look into that. How long it will take you to have children once you go OFF the pill like my GF did.
