A good way to prevent pregnancy?

Unread post by Kristina4ka99 »

okay, me and my partner have had sexual intercourse about 6 times, and we have used condoms, to prevent pregnancy, but i am not on any kind of birth control, and luckyly none of the condoms have broken, but i dont want to have any chances of getting pregnant in case it slips or breaks.... and we want to try out having sex without a condom soon, but i am not willing to do that unless im on the pill... i am 17, and i dont think i will have trouble of getting the proper birth control, but i was wondering if its still safe, and i was considering about getting a shot, that should last me for about 3 months... and it should be cheaper in the long run...
