I'm glad you wrote back, and even happier that you are having protected sex...yeah!!
Condoms really are up to 98% effective at preventing pregnancy when used consistently and correctly every time, and help protect against many STDs, too. You are both making great healthy choices..great job!
How often are you using emergency contraception?
How old are you, as you can get a prescription for birth control pills without your parent's knowledge (depending on where you live, your age, etc), as your health is more important than any embarrassment (although, I know it doesn't feel like it, and I understand many parents would forbid a sexual relationship...so it gets complicated).
