Good Combination?

---

Ok so me and my girlfriend are thinking about having sex, but i am a little uneasy about the whole thing because she absolutely cannot get pregenant. She is on Birth Control, which is Yasmin, and we are going to use a condom do you think the combination of the two would be pretty close to 100% effectiveness?

I think it is very safe, there is a very small chance of her getting pregnant. I think you about as close to 100% as you are going to get.

If you are that unsure, put a second condom on to make it 100%. And even if things go wrong, you can call the baby MacGyver.

NEVER EVER use 2 condoms at once. This is a recipe for failure of the condom(s) and gives you less protection than only one.

Very close. Though, I do know a girl who got pregnant in a similar situation. Despite her difficult situation, she decided there was no way she was going to have an abortion because it's almost like a "miracle baby", as she put it.

wow that pretty much is a miracle baby i think. i believe between the birth control and a condom then we should be ok.

taken from health.arizona.edu.. Q: Does using two condoms reduce the risk of getting pregnant? Q: I have heard that if you wear 2 condoms during sex, it reduces the man's sensitivity and delays his orgasm. On the other hand, I have heard that wearing 2 condoms makes them more likely to tear and is more risky, which one is correct? A: After talking with numerous health care providers, health educators and condom manufacturing representatives, the overwhelming response is AGAINST the practice of wearing two condoms. While there does not yet seem to be any scientific literature to support this stance, it comes from the advice of professionals (including the Centers for Disease Control, OB/GYN doctors and nurse practitioners, and condom manufacturers) who are most knowledgeable in the area of contraception and sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention. Their explanation is that during sex, an excessive amount of friction will occur between the two condoms and increase the likelihood of either, or both, condoms breaking. When worn correctly, one condom is adequate (88%-98% effective) for pregnancy prevention and for protection against some STDs such as HIV/AIDS. If you are concerned about pregnancy prevention specifically, you can opt to use condoms in combination with other contraceptive methods such as oral contraception (the pill) or a diaphragm. Also, several condom manufacturers sell extra-strength condoms that have shown to be even more tear-resistant than normal strength condoms. Extra-strength condoms are especially recommended for anal intercourse. And, since extra-strength condoms are made of a thicker latex rubber, they may also have the additional effect of reducing a man's sensitivity and allowing him to delay orgasm.

Spermacidal Condoms are a good way to go. The lubricant is supposed to kill the sperm even if the condom tears.
