My friend said "if you don't take the pill, you won't get pregnant," is that true?

My friend told me, “If you don’t take the birth control pill, you won’t get pregnant.” I found this information a bit strange. Is it really like that? My knowledge about sexual health is limited, and I get very anxious when I hear such rumors. How can I access reliable information?

My friend once said something like this too, “if you don’t stress during the relationship, your chances of getting pregnant decrease,” I remember. Of course, it’s nonsense; if you’re talking about something serious, you need accurate information.

Did this friend seriously say this believing it, or were they just joking? And how old are they to be saying something like this?

@kahvebitmeden no, I said it seriously. He added things like “if there’s no pill, nothing will happen anyway.” We’re 23 years old :roll_eyes:

@aklimkaldi this is too strange to be explained by mere ignorance. From what I’ve read, your friend is completely unaware of what you’re protected by. I think you should try talking about these things with more knowledgeable people.

There is a possibility of becoming pregnant even without using birth control pills; this is completely false information. Any unprotected intercourse carries risk. If you want accurate information, I recommend that you learn from a gynecologist.

@benbisorayim that’s true, but not everyone may be able to go to the doctor; we need to apply some logic here. What your friend said is still legendary.

Learn such important topics either from reliable sources on the internet or from doctors. Your friend is talking absurd things.

your friend is quite assertive but wrong.

If they just say “It won’t be a problem” and move on, I’m really curious about how they’re experiencing that relationship. Are they aware of the existence of risk? If they’re so sure, ask them what their source of information is :flushed_face:
