While On Birth Control Pills, Can One Engage In Sex Without Condom?
Hello, I just started birth control about 6 months, Lo lestrine fe, then switched to Cryselle last month. I am recently sexually active. I use condoms because I tend to forget pills sometimes, however I haven t at all this month. I am wondering how safe it is to not use a condom since I m on the birth control? Would it be best to still continue to use a condom? Thank you.

Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
If you take regularly birth control pills, you can definitely participate in sex with out condoms. but it is always best to continue with condoms if you can, if you are not regular with pills.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
