You are welcome to ask anything here.This safe place is to get your questions answered.Pregnancy rates with Birth Control pill perfect use are one out of 100.Since none of us are perfect,human nature ,forgetting the pills ,makes it slightly higher.His body fluids will drain out a little bit ,but they are not harmful.Douching or daily mini pad use is not recommended.As one pharmacetical company states,the vagina is a self cleaning oven.You could use a spermicide like Vaginal Contraceptive Film at times with the pill to take a break from the condoms if you want to.Jo Ann NP
