Precum and the pill?

Unread post by Angeldelight123 »

Hi there
I've been on the combined 21-day birth control pill for nearly 4 months, so I know my chances are very slim, 
I was wondering if you have any advice on how to be able to trust my birth control better? my boyfriend has never ejaculated inside of me, so my only worry is pre-ejaculate, but does the pill cover me from that?
This current month me and my boyfriend have only had sex ONCE without a condom using the pull out method, which he urinated before hand and pulled out long before he was even close to finishing, but apart from that, any other time we had sex during this month we did use a condom, so would have my pill covered me that one time? Even from any pre-ejaculate?
Last week I got the the implant fitted as I feel it is a better option for me and I just finished this month's pack of pills yesterday (like the nurse told me to) so I haven't missed one or taken any late, I take my pill every day at the same time, and have never missed one ever since I've started it, I have also never took any medications or anything that could affect my pill. So, despite now having the implant, was I covered from pregnancy during that one time? It happened nearly 3 weeks ago.

Hey again, Angel.

Please know that per our policies, we will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
