I've been on the pill for 11 years and never used anything as a back up. I've never gotten pregnant, but I'm very good at remembering to take it.
I have a good friend that just had an accidental 3rd child ( the first 2 were planned) while on the pill. She swears to me she took it 100% correctly, and had been on it for 4 years, when she suddenly got pregnant again.
Here's another one: I know a guy who used condoms and his wife was on the pill and she STILL got pregnant.
So what am I trying to say? Only abstinence is 100% successful but most of us (myself included) wouldn't even consider giving up our sex lives! It's just a risk you have to take if you want to have sex. Just know that your odds are REALLY low if you use the pill correctly and should be even lower if you also use condoms.
Even though there's a small chance you could still get pregnant, what would worrying about it solve? It's just about the choice- horny enough to risk it? If so, then why worry? You're doing everything possible to prevent conception. And wouldn't it suck more if you had sex, worried the whole time, didn't enjoy it, and got pregnant anyway? I'd be pissed that I didn't even enjoy it but still had to pay the price!
Look up some statistics, maybe the miniscule percentages will make you relax.
