Well its only 99% effective so there’s still a chance. People get pregnant on pill all the time.

1 in 10. Or 10 out of every 100 people. Is the accurate failure rate of b/c pills.

Im 14weeks pregnant - and i was on birth control when i fell pregnant.
My mother fell pregnant twice when on birth control (same one she had been on for 15years!!)
Dont take the chance if you dont want to be pregnant - withdrawal is not a good method - use a condom!!

If you take your birthcontrol pills religiously and he pulls out, then the chances are very, very low. Not impossible, but slim and none, I’d say.

If you’re taking them properly, then you are about 99% save… which means there is always a chance you could become pregnant. If he withdrawls as well, then you are even less likely to become pregnant.

That 1% is all it takes. You want to enjoy your time making love with your husband, so take your temp. every night and during the times when you are ovulating, use the condom. Learn your cycle and know when the safest times are. Do not miss a pill and take them at the same time every day. That is my advise. I got pg on the pill because I took the easy way out and did not take the time to learn about my own body. People have been doing the rhythm method for years, so combining it with the pill and a condom should allow you more enjoyment with your husband.

I am currently pregnant with my second baby that i fell pregnant with while on the pill, also my first happened the same way. even if you are taking it correctly there is still a chance that you can fall pregnant. it depends on how fertile you are or at least that’s what my doc said to me. If you don’t want to accidently fall preggers than i suggest other contraception methods as well.

The Pill: 7%
Condom: 16%

Figures are even higher for unmarried people.
