How can I avoid having unplanned pregnancies?

I'm 24 years old and I'm on the pill. I also always use condoms. Is there anything else that I should be doing to avoid unplanned pregnancies?

You are fine. I do not want you to lose sleep over, just remember life is always a risk; nothing is 100 percent, but you are doing right things.

Except for abstinence, I'd say you have covered all the bases. (No pun intended!)

That should protect you from pregnancy as long as you take the pill every day

No, you're doing enough. But just make sure that you're taking your pills regularly.
