The ones my, ahem (ex) looked at, I think were 97% + effective..So that'd be, 3% or less chance you could get pregnant. Only abstinence is 100 % effective. :)

I became pregnant with my daughter while on the pill. I was on it for 5 yrs before conceiving though. Appareantly, and I did not know this but after time, some women's bodies can build up an immunity to the pill and it becomes less effective over time. Its ok though, my daughter is beautiful and my whole world!

My cousin is in a medical program and in one of his text books it said if you take the pill correctly - every day, same time,the chances are less than 1%. of course it is different with every pill and every woman. my mom missed one day and here i am!

For me I'm pretty sure it'd be ummmm zero.
by Shanel with an S on February 9th, 2009
like 1 or 2% chance. my cousin got pregnant and she was on the pill. she didn't even miss a day either.

Not sure , ... but very little ! .

Very little but there is evidence that it will not succeed

what about getting pregnant while you are on the shot

This chart gives a pretty good idea. The statistics sometimes mean that 3% of the women who take it will get pregnant anyway, and the other 97% won't and sometimes it means that any woman who takes it will fail 3% of the time. They are two different things.

Not very high at all.
BUT BE CAREFUL!!!! My girlfriend was only using the pill and she fell pregnant as she was sick and the pill did not take effect. Worst part of my life, so don't let the same thing happen to you.

If your a LDS wife the odds are high those women are always getting pregnant while on the pill. Thank God my current wife was sterile and too stupid to know it.

The pill is not an entirely effective birth contorl, at all. I know tons of people who have had kids and have been on the pill. If you don't take it at the exact time your supposed to it can greatly decrease it's effectiveness.. if your on the pill.. i would recommend to have backup birthcontrol too like a condom. I am on the shot and it's much more reliable and effective at preventing pregnancy but can have stronger side effects.

Okay well the pill I'm taking my doctor told me the chances of me getting pregnant is very very low yet it depends
by Shanel with an S on September 14th, 2009
less than 1%, my cousin was taking the pill and she never missed a day, and she still got pregnant! but it depends on the brand of pill and the way the woman's body responds to the pill.
