Combination Pill and Sex

[Cloudnine]

Hi! I have 2 questions. First, is the effectiveness of the pill as a form of birth control based on the guy finishing inside you? So no other birth control or the withdrawal method? Second, I take my pill religiously every day around the same time. My boyfriend and I have sex using the withdrawal method, and we haven’t had any close calls for a year until last night. He finished and some landed in the crease between my leg and vagina (so like groin). I don’t think any actually got on my vagina, I was very worried and diligently looked, but should I have any reason to be worried? He definitely did not finish inside me. Should I ever be worried if I take the pill near perfectly and he uses that withdrawl method but never finishes inside me? Thanks!
