I am a 16 year old female and have just been put on levlen ed with my mothers consent after losing my virginity. while i am in a steady relationship and my family is aware i am sexually active, a pregnancy could not come at a worse time for me. my boyfriend and i will always use condoms in addition to the contraceptive pill, but i have done my research and found the levlen ed is one of the least reliable forms of the pill. if i am on levlen and using condoms, how likely is pregnancy?
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. I am not sure what internet source you are using, but Even is a completely effective low-dose birth control pill.  Unless you weigh more than 180 lbs (about 80 kg) low dose pills have the same effectiveness as any other-meaning you are protected against pregnancy 99.5 percent of the time.  Condoms are 90 percent effective as a contraceptive as well. Most people who use the pill use it as a single method of birth control, but the fact that you use condoms in addition makes accidental pregnancy really impossible.  It is a good habit to use condoms all the time any way to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted infections, but you do not have to worry about pregnancy. I hope I was able to answer your question today and that this information was reassuring to you.  Best wishes,
