Yeah the pill is definately a good idea. But if you forget to take it just ONE day.....you are at risk of getting pregnant. Plus the pill doesn't always work. My friend's kids are proof of that. Plus Im sure there are others here that will tell you that you should use something else besides the pill.
I know you are unsure about condoms....and for some people they seriously irriate them. But I would still give them a try..... I mean you don't want to risk getting any STD's....etc. Plus its a good backup method for if your pill doesn't work. I have mostly used the pill and condoms together and I have had no problems.
