Birth control question?

Question

my partner and I are in a quite serious committed relationship, we are both std free. I am on the pill and we always use condoms, however we hate condoms. we were discussing the possibility of what else we could do, and we came up with really only one option. my birth control pills, plus spermicide, as well as him pulling out previous to ejaculation. would using all of these methods together be a safe way to prevent pregnancy? what would the statistics likely be? Also, I use the pill for health reasons other then pregnancy, and the pill is only 92-99 percent effective, i want to cover that 8-1 percent.

Implant, IUD, the contraceptive cup thing are all extra options.

The pill should really be enough to cover you - remember a woman is only likely to get pregnant 1 in 3 times in perfect conditions for conception, so imagine how small that chance is now that you've taken away 92-99% of that original third?

I have the implant and until it kicked in I was finishing off my pill - I got next to no period, it was great 😘

Since you are on the pill and using those other methods, there is a very good chance you are safe. I think your best bet would be to have a conversation about what you would do IF they were to fail and you become pregnant. Make sure you are both on the same page about how to move forward - and if you are, then go for it. The chance is there, but it will be very very low.

here's the thing no matter what you do if you have sex, pregnancy is possible. There is no way to 100% stop pregnancy, well you could stop having sex, but let's be real. The pill is very effective on it's own. Anything on top of that is extra.
