My girlfriend is on the pill and we had sex

My girlfriend has started taking the Pill and she assures me that it is safer than a condom. I think you are. There are well over 3. Hardly any of them bother with condoms. However, I must admit that some people do prefer to have the added protection of a 'sheath' — especially if they have any fears about passing on infection caught during previous sexual encounters. If you do have any worries about the possibility of either of you having an infection, you should both go to a genitourinary medicine GUM clinic for a check-up.

We've been together for a few months and only use condoms for protection. Recently there have been a few isolated signs of her being pregnant. I think I'm most likely just paranoid and that the pregnancy "signs" are just coincidences. However, they've scared me enough to want to talk with her about using a back up birth control method like the pill or arm implant.

You can become pregnant if you have unprotected intercourse even just once! Maybe you tried to protect yourself but the condom broke. Perhaps you were taking birth control pills but missed two or more of them, or you usually get a birth control shot every three months but missed your last shot.
