Effectiveness of BC alone?

Unread post by ojh22 »

My boyfriend and I have decided to have sex, and I have been on the birth control pill for about 3 months. I've heard from friends (who are also on the pill) that they did not use a condom, but pulled out and had no problems. I have never been sure if there are sperm in precum, but I wanted to know the effectiveness of the BC and pulling out combined... the birth control I take is Minastrin 24 Fe
