Low dosage of birth control pills and pregnancy

It's been 2 months when I started taking birth controll pills (Loestrin24Fe).
I am on a low dosage of pills. I never let my b/f come inside of me and it is very frustrating because we always reach an orgasm together and when we're close we have to stop, especially him. He can control himself and would never make me pregnant but when he has to control himself and suddenly stop, it makes me angry and I don't reach an orgasm.
MY QUESTION IS IF I LET HIM CUM INSIDE OF ME WILL I GET PREGNANT, BUT I AM ON A LOW DOSAGE OF PILLS. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS, IS IT THE RIGHT TIME TO GO BACK TO GINECOLOGIST AND ASK FOR HIGHER DOSAGE OF PILLS AND I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING PREGNANT? I have one more low dosage pack of pill for the third month.
My b/f says if he came inside of me it would bring us both to the next level and I'd not have to worry about covering up my genitals with hand every time we are making love.

P.S. I know I should use condom every time but he doesn't carry any viruses or hiv's, he's clean and I am the only partner. We hate condoms anyway.

Please help!!!!

Well, even with low doses, the pill is still effective, (otherwise they wouldn't sell it claiming it was!!!) - clinic tests have shown that even if the pill doesn't prevent ovulation, you are still protected due to the secondary protection it provides: the thickening of cervical mucus to stop sperm reaching the uterus, and the alterations to the lining of the womb, making it less likely to accept a fertile egg. So even if he did ejaculate inside you, you would still be protected - as long as you take all the pills correctly every single day!!!!

Clinics usually start you off on a low dose, because low dose pills have a smaller risk of side effects. They then up the dose if you are unsatisfied or feel incompatible with the pill. But they will move you to a new pill if you are unsatisfied! I went to my clinic and asked to be moved to a stronger pill, because I didn't feel protected on my current one (I was still having ovulation pains), and they moved me up, (although I had to wait 3 months)

I would advise you to ask at the next appointment you have, and make sure you are prepared to face side effects (changing pills will give you side effects again like when you first started taking the pill) - in the meantime, invest in spermicides or spermicidal foam that would double your protection - ask at your local pharmacy if they have any.
