Ah that's ok, as a guy you're just seeing it from his point of view, which is fine.

Seriously though, do you really think it would be selfish for me not to take it?? My period's due on September 2nd anyway, and, as has been said, I'd have to wait a couple of weeks for the test to be effective anyway. It's not that I'm absolutely refusing to take it ~ I will if there's nothing else that will make him feel better, but what I'm trying to do is just help him realise that everything is ok. There was no reason why my pill shouldn't have protected me ~ I'd taken it at the right time, hadn't been sick or had diarrhoea, hadn't missed any previously.
Also, we were nearly going to have sex without a condom and only decided to use one at the last minute ~ I think it's more just that we did use one and it broke. If we purposely hadn't used one he wouldn't be worrying this much. I texted all the friends I have who are on the pill and don't use condoms, and showed him the texts, and have told him about my best friend's experiences with condoms breaking and getting lost afterwards.
I think I'd just prefer to convince him that I don't have to take it than point-blank refuse not to take it if he wants me to.

Thanks for the help though guys.

Despite being on the pill I'd always recommend using a condom because teens don't understand how big of a deal kids are. in a relationship were you having sex for fun you can never be to careful.
