My boyfriend and I had sex for the first time in August 2010 and then decided not to have it anymore because we were afraid of the risk of pregnancy. 6 months later we decide to do it again and to stay aware of the risk as long as we were responsible by wearing a condom (and changing them every time) and taking birth control, which I have been taking perfectly for 6 months. Almost 2 weeks later, my boyfriend brings up the topic of him worrying I'm pregnant. Of course, I had been thinking about this, as well, but I thought about the facts of when we did have sex: we changed the condoms, I used my birth control perfectly, and he never came while we were having sex (he came when we weren't having sex so he didn't even do it in the condom inside me). So I'm wondering if this should be anything to worry about possibly happening and should tell my boyfriend to stop worrying or should I consider the fact it's possible and be aware of it?

Hi bubblegirl,
I can tell you, from the male point of view, getting a girl pregnant is always on your mind. I can understand him worrying about this. Even with you taking the birth control pills and the condoms, there is still a risk, however slight.
I do not think his worries are unfounded, but I do think they are unrealistic. If he plans on having sex there will be some risk. You've done quite a bit to limit that risk, more than most people do. I do not think you will get pregnant if you continue in this manner.
The only way to truly have ZERO risk is to abstain from ANY and ALL sexual contact.
So, it is possible and just be aware of it.
