Has any girl here gotten pregnant, while you were on birth control pills....?

Question

WOULD YOU TAKE THE BC PROPERLY AND ON TIME....

WHAT BC WERE YOU ON....

AND HOW LONG AFTER TAKING THE BIRTH CONTROL DID YOU GET PREGO....

Answer 1

I was also on Ortho Tricyclen and after reading the answers before me it seems like this pill may be a really bad choice.  I was on it for about 2 years and I took it everyday at the same time and never mixed it with any medicine that would decrease the effectiveness of it.  I am now 33 weeks pregnant.  I also have a friend that was on ortho and she is due 4 weeks before me.  If you really don't want to have a child at this time I would recommend using two forms of birth control (like the pill and spermicide) because I am learning more about more about people getting pregnant (especially with IUDs too.)

Answer 2

My sister did... but I don't know any of the specifics... it was years ago.  

Also, a friend of mines girlfriend about 3 months ago, but don't know the specifics either... sorry.

Answer 3

My sister did. She took her pill regularly for a few years. Shortly after she found out she was pregnant, the news was reporting about BC pills and how they are not as effective in preventing pregnancy as they were once thought to be. Here is an article that talks more about this: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article...

Answer 4

When you typed in this question, didn't you see all the ones exactly like it that YA showed you before you pressed submit? I think I've seen this question 10 times in the last week, but I'll go ahead and answer it anyways.  I got pregnant on birth control, my little boy is due 10-30-08! I was taking it properly, same time everyday, never missed a day.  I was on ortho tricyclen, and I don't understand the last part of your question.  How long after taking it did I get pregnant? I got pregnant while taking it. Found out I was pregnant right around the time it was time to start my new pack, and I still hadn't gotten my period.  

Answer 5

I had 2 kids on the birth control pill. I was on ortho. I took it on time, every day and didn't miss. I now have a Mirena IUD and it's been 4 years and counting!!

Answer 6

I have a friend who was on ortho Tri Cyclin she was on it for years, Then she took St John's wart and she has a 8 yr old girl as a result. You need to watch what you take with the pill as well. Some antibotics and other herbs can decrease the effectiveness.  

Answer 7

I've known two people who have (one twice, actually).  No brand of BC is 100% effective no matter how properly you take it, and there are many substance that can stop it working altogether if you take them.

Answer 8

No. been on BC for years no pregnancy. The girls who get pregnant while on birth control means they arent taking the pills correctly. You have to take the pills the same time everyday and not miss 1 day. If you miss a day you have to take it as soon as you remember and use a condom the rest of that month. Stupidity is what causes unwanted pregnancies. And Mirena is an IUC not an IUD as one lady thinks. Mirena is only used in women who have already had a baby.
