I have just started taking it, when do you have sex do you let your boyfriend cum inside you? or do most of you have him pull out? I want to enjoy sex to the full extent, but also be safe. so would it be safe to have him ejaculate inside?

I'd advise you to carefully read and reread the instructions that came with your pill to make sure you know all the dos and don'ts and what to expect.
You say that you have just started taking your pill...if this is the first week and you haven't taken 7 days' worth of pills yet then I would advise you to use another form of contraception such as a condom as well as taking your pill. You should use a condom until you have been taking your pill for 7 days (this only applies to the very first week and not after the 7 day break).
Hope this makes some kind of sense but as I said before, have a good read at the pill instructions in the box as they should cover this too.:)
But not guarenteed. Yes, it is more than 99% effective if taken correctly, but on average (this includes when people forget the pill, dont take it at the right time and several other factors) its 95% effective. The combined pill is supposed to prevent a woman from ovulating and thickens the mucous layer in the cervix which helps prevent sperm from entering the uterous.
Its up to you on how careful you want to be. I am on the pill and use condoms every time as I am a bit anal about it. I hate children. If you are comfortable not using condoms and letting him finish in you, then its up to you. Condoms are always there as an option. If you forget a pill one day you could use them for th remainder of the month. There are several options to go along with the pill depending on how comfortable you are with the pill.
The pill is more effective than condoms because they're harder to take wrongly, but if you are really worried about pregnancy then use both. If you don't know if your partner is free of STIs then use both.
It's as safe as you can get if you take it properly, so you should relax and enjoy it. Sex without a condom feels more intimate for both of you, and apparently semen has chemicals in it which make women relax more.
There can be sperm in pre cum, yes. But it's not a massive amount. And getting pregnant is really a numbers game: the more sperm, the greater your chances. So withdrawing would make a difference.
You know how many people don't get pregnant using no contraception and actually trying for a baby?
No how many?
I think the post you quoted is more pertinant in this discussion, since people are talking about not trying to get pregnant.
ETA: although what Katralla says above is also obviously true.
i dont know the exact figures, but i`m sure a lot of teenage girls rely on the withdrawal method and get caught, and i`m not gonna change my opinion on that because i cant give exact figures!
he was saying that using the withdrawal will reduce pregnancy, i was saying it isnt reliable
maybe there are some crossed wires here....
The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention gives the infertility rate for American couples of reproductive age at 7.1%. Of this 40% is due to sperm defects, 40% due to female reproductive problems, 10% combined and 10% unknown.
Glad to be of help.
My problem was with you assuming a position of authority through knowledge when you actually couldn't support that assumed position with evidence of that knowledge; it amounts to shock tactics and, whilst probably admirable in intent, pushes all my buttons.
i said the withdrawal method is NOT a good form of contraception, most safe sex websites will tell u that, want me to google them?
So where does it say "how many people don't get pregnant using no contraception and actually trying for a baby?" What is 7.1%? Where does it say they are trying for a baby? Just because you are infertile doesn't mean your trying. Where does it say that no contraception is being used? You quoted a stat for infertality, I fail to see how you answered your question.
People are considered infertile if they've been trying for a baby without contraception for a period of 12 months without becoming pregnant. Being infertile means exactly that you are trying; it's part of the definition.
And to the other off topic questions.
Withdrawal method, as is said there is sperm in pre cum and could cause pregnancy, but there is no way of telling an exact number,
And the other about how many get pregnant that are actually trying, admittedly, i feel that there are more accidental pregnancys than planned. People can try for a baby for years with no joy, yet another could be a drunk one night stand. Its the way life goes
Websters? Of the dictionaries? Of the medical kind?
"Infertility: The diminished ability or the inability to conceive and have offspring. Infertility is also defined in specific terms as the failure to conceive after a year of regular intercourse without contraception."
