If I were to be on the pill, have the guy have a condom on, make him pull out properly, and take the morning after pill...what are the chances I would become pregnant? Is it possible that even through all of this I could be pregnant?I decided I wanted to be educated about this stuff for future references, to make sure I don't interrupt my teen years. Please do not refer to abstinence, because it is something I believe in. But being a teen I know this isn't the most possible/easiest thing for anyone to follow. So I want to stay safe..

 I found these links for you to read. They will help you understand more about birth control. Later on, when you become sexually active, you can discuss what would work best for you with your gynecologist.http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control//birth-control-effectiveness-chart-22710.htmhttp://www.womenshealth.gov/FAQ/birth-control-methods.cfmGood luck!

 If you were on the pill, without the guy pulling out and without a condom the chances are less than .1% (yes, the decimal is supposed to be there). Pulling out really isn't necessary. A condom isn't either if you've been taking the pill correctly, but it would decrease those .1% odds a lot and allow you to enjoy sex more if you're nervous. Make sure to use a water or silicone based lube with the condom to decrease the odds of tearing.
Do not take the morning after pill if you are also on birth control. It won't make you safer, it will just make you sick. The morning after pill is basically a more concentrated birth control pill (sort of). So you'd basically just be tripling a dose.

 Birth control pill and a condom and you're as safe as safe can be. No need for him to pull out before ejaculating (as that isn't a method to prevent pregnancy at all really) and the morning after pill isn't to be used as a contraceptive, it is for emergencies only (if you've had unprotected sex).
The problem is that many teenagers misuse their contraception, put on the condom wrong, or damage it for example, or forget to take their pill. There are safer things than the pill out there, such as the hormonal implant that you typically place under the skin on your arm (done at the doctors).
Condoms are the only thing that protects against STI's, but Im sure you knew that already.

 If you take the birth control pill every day at around the same time each day, your chances of getting pregnant are minimal.
NEVER do the pull-out method, whether you're on BC or not....it never works. There is always the chance of pre-cum entering you and even pre-cum can make you pregnant.

 birth control pills taken properly and consistently will probably prevent pregnancy....
a condom for sexual health (STD protection) will also protect against pregnancy...
with both a condom and properly taken birth control pills, I'd not even worry about withdrawal...
good for you for planning ahead with your age range I hope this is very long range planning.

 The morning-after is an emergency contraceptive. If you are taking the normal BC pill as per prescription and also using a condom (pulling out is optional, really) the morning-after is not neccessary (nor recommended).

 If you are using all these precautions properly, then there is no reason for him to pull out..
Lots of girls get pregnant on contraceptives yes, but this is because they think nothing will happen if they accidentally forget to take one pill or "one time without a condom wont make any difference".
Consistency is the word!
Take the pill, use a condom and there should be a less than 1% chance that you would get pregnant. Remember that a lot of people do this and DONT get pregnant, but that isn't newsworthy.

 There is always a chance but using the right contraception will greatly decrease the chances of it happening, especially if the guy pulls out in time.
I hope that helps.
