Just be aware of WHEN the Pill is fallible--for instance, taking antibiotics lessens the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, taking it at different times can affect its effectiveness, etc. Taking it at the SAME TIME every day is vital as many of the pills now are so low in hormone that missing one can allow that window of opportunity to open up.
If you don't like using condoms, seek out another barrier method, like the diaphragm.
One method I haven't heard mentioned in this thread is the IUD. It isn't as popular in the United States as it is overseas, but the effectiveness rate is similar to that of the Pill and there are fewer worries. They now also have a five-year hormone-coated IUD called Mirena that has the beneficial side effects of Depo--lighter and fewer periods.
I would recommend going down to Planned Parenthood or the county health clinic and having a long discussion with a practioner if you have any questions or worries. They can answer nearly everything you can throw at them.
