Just out of curiosity, how many people on here have actually gotten pregnant while taking BC?

Question

Did you take the pill at the EXACT time each day and still get pregnant? Im not sure how I will pick a best answer, maybe which ever one catches my eye.

Answer 1

I did.  And I was quite religious on my pills, I took them everyday and I had been on them for about 5 years.  I guess this baby was just meant to be.  It may have been a surprise but it is not unwanted, I will love this baby with all my heart - I already do!

Answer 2

my ex did with our second kid and i can assure you i watched her take it everyday.....we didn't need nor could afford the second one we got so quick after the first.

she was even using vaginal foam and it still happened.

then, years later and just recently, my daughter got pregnant with her second one while wearing that patch thing.

what are the odds?

Answer 3

Yes I did.

After that I went on a much better method, IUD.

Answer 4

you have to take the pill EVERYDAY

if you don't then youre not protected

Answer 5

I have never personallly been on birth control but I have heard that your  higher chances of getting pregnant while using the pill, can be if you are taking antibiotics. They cancel out the effectiveness.

Answer 6

I haven't but most of my nieces and nephews were conceived on BC.  My sister Windi got pregnant 4 times on BC.  She kept switching the pills but nothing was working.  The first time was because of antibiotics which makes sense but the other times she was taking the pill everyday at the same time and never missed a pill and still got pregnant.  The Dr couldn't understand why but for some reason it just didn't work for her.  My other sister got pregnant with her second baby while on BC.  My step-sister was on BC when she got pregnant with her first son but she also was taking antibiotics.  For best results you need to be on them for atleast 3 months straight with taking them at the same time every day, never missing a pill and no antibiotics and using protection until that 3rd month atleast so the BC builds up in your system.  Then after 3 months it is still very important to remember that you need extra protection if you are on antibiotics.  

Answer 7

YES!

I got pregnant using BC, i took it everyday AND used a condom, and i still got pregnant!

haha i must be pretty fertile LOL!
