Alright, also, you have to realize that the 1% failure rate for the pill is the failure rate for those people not using it properly (so my OBGYN says). It's that little extra "+/-1%" for those people who thought they were using it properly and actually weren't. According to my OBGYN, IF you use the pill EXACTALY like you're supposed to, take it EVERY day at the SAME time, AND don't take St. John's Wort or anything else (like antibiotics) that will interfere with the hormones, AND you make sure that you're not too heavy for the dose of hormones you're getting, then there's no way you can get pregnant.

What's the point of being on the pill if you're still using condoms? Use spermicide instead, it'll save you lots of money.
