@askdoctort: The real answer is technically yes, but the likelihood is very, VERY low of an unintended pregnancy when both are used properly. Let’s talk about the odds. With an average cycle, pregnancy from sex is possible for about 6 days per month. Add to that birth control pills, when taken correctly, are 99% effective. Then add a condom, worn correctly and from the start of intercourse, keeps out all of the sperm. It’s always good to know what your plan would be in case of unintended pregnancy, but doubling up on birth control methods is a great plan and condoms have the added bonus of preventing STIs. TL;DR: Doc gives the all clear.#AskDoctorT
