Don't use a condom, but you can use other methods as long as you have control.... In other words, let her get hers, then pull out.
I've heard quite a few of the docs in clinics and what not say that BC is a good method, but only 99% affective. Which means, 99 times out of 100 you're good. Of course, there's a couple of other things to know....like, make sure she takes the pill EVERY DAY. Also, make sure you know her cycle. They say that days 1-5 (when she's on her period) is about the safest time...(though the messiest)... After that, 6-8 or so is the most dangerous time. Technically, that's when most people on the pill conceive as long as they don't miss any pills.
Other than that, the cycle is about normal. Just keep in mind that the odds are pretty good that everything will be fine. There are rumors floating around that if a girl stays on the same birth control brand for too long that she'll become immune to it. This is a common myth that was started by the makers of Yasmine and the other brands that have been released in the last 8 years. If she's on a BC that makes her feel comfortable and doesn't make her cramp too bad, you should be in good shape.
