Well there are other hormonal contraceptions, like the depo shot, or the patch, if you use a hormonal form as well as a condom, you can relax, odds are pretty low

Answer #2

Itchi and ty has good advice.

Also remember that there are a lot more birth control methods for you to look into. Also once you get into the habit of drinking the pill - which is easy if you set an alarm for it you basically never forget.

Answer #3

if youre worried about forgetting the pill, talk to your doctor about getting the birth control shot. personally, I think birth control is great, because it not only helps with pregnancy prevention, but it also lightens/regulates your periods, and helps your hormones balance out-which could help your growth and developement.

Answer #4

Using a condom is a pretty good way to stay protected, but it’s not 100% effective.

Unfortunately, the only true method to prevent pregnancy is to abstain.
