Can you still get pregnant even if you're on the pill?

Question

Me and my boyfriend have been wondering if you can get pregnant if you're on the pill. We've been thinking about s*x for a while now but neither of us wants me pregnant. I've been on the pill for a about half a year. So is it possible to get pregnant while on the pill?

Answer 1

Hey, didnt your doctor explain this to you when you got your prescription?

I dont mean to sound harsh, but I dont understand why so many girls who are already ON birth control come here asking such simple questions.  Either the doctors have stopped explaining about birth control before they prescribe it, or the patients are just ignoring them.

Answer 2

yep.

Answer 3

no. thats why people take it. to PREVENT them from getting pregnant.

duhhhh..

think much?

Answer 4

yes its possible.. even with perfect use, the pill is something like 99.9% effective.. I know someone who got pregnant twice while on the pill.. it doesnt work for all women.

Answer 5

umm yepp

Answer 6

ofcourse

although it is unlikely

it indeed has happened alot.

Answer 7

Yes but its very rare. The pill is somewhere between 97 to 99 percent effective.

Answer 8

It's possible, but your chances are reduced to 1 or 2 percent, as opposed to the 20-25 percent chance you'd have if you used nothing.

Answer 9

Yep u can...

take my 13 yr old cousin for instince..she was on the pill (for periods tho)

And she is like 2 months pregnant..

Answer 10

IT IS possible, but rather unlikely. If you take the pill about the same time everyday and dont miss a pill the chances of you getting pregnant are very slim. like very very very slim. if you are worried have him pull out before letting himself go in you or use a condom. i have been on birth control for years and have not gotten pregnant (knock on wood). there is always Plan B and you can get it from plan parenthood.

Answer 11

why else is it called "birth control"?

Answer 12

Yes you can get pregnant on the pill though its very rare. I'm mom got pregnant with both me and my brother both while on the pill its pretty rare but it can happen so use protection

Answer 13

Yes it is possible especially if you forget a pill or two one month or take antibiotics which make the pill ineffective during the time you are taking them.  If you are going to have s*x and want to be very sure not to get pregnant then also use condoms.  It is great you are being so responsible and taking every precaution not to get pregnant.

Answer 14

Yes you can, being on birth control pills does not eliminate your chances of becoming pregnant completely.  If you are really in love with your boyfriend and you really want to have s*x with  him, then have him use protection too, and you are on the pill, and you will  most likely be okay, but after all, it is completely unpredictable if the pill and condom will work.  Nobody knows! After all if you actully sit down and think about it, s*x is ment for getting pregnant and having children in the first place!! But do whatever you want, the choice is totally up to you.

Answer 15
