I am on birth control pills and never miss one. My long-term boyfriend and I do not use a back-up method, such as a condom. Is there any chance I could get pregnant if I take the pill regularly?

Yes, there is a chance that you could get pregnant. My mama got pregnant with me while she was on birth control. But that was 27 years ago. There is a possibility that birth control pills are a little better today than they were 27 years ago. (not sure). But, yes..you COULD get pregnant, so be careful! Heck, I have even known women to get preggo even after they have had their tubes tied, and even after a man has had a vasectomy. So really, is there any 100% safe method? No, not really. lol Just be careful hun.

Yeah nothing's 100% certain. Having a back up is always a good idea. Like my gf and I use a condom everytime even though she's on the pill. If you want something less obstructive you could try to follow your ovulation cycle, use a spermicidal lube, or have him pull out.

Of course, but it is a very small one. If you are not ready for pregnancy, use a back up, like spermicide inserts if you are not overly sensitive to them. I had two children after getting pregnant on the pill. It happens, it is just less likely.

Birth control pills are about 97% effective, but there is always a chance....

it is 99 out of 100 time effective. So if you've had sex more than 100 times, your chances of getting pregger on the pill are rising.
I don't think its very likely though if you take them everyday at the same time.

the pill is about 95% effective, as long as you take it at the same time everyday. ideally you don't need back up. but if you don't take it at the regular time, you can get over the counter "morning after pill" (or at least in australia you can).

I would say it's VERY unlikely. I was on it for 10 years and never got pregnant. There is however, the odd person who does get pregnant even on the pill... but like I said, VERY unlikely.

Yes!!! If you vomit within 12 hrs of taking the pill or get diahrea or if you are taking any antibiotics then you are at risk of getting pregnant.

there is always that 99.9% chance that you can.
My daughter is 7, I was on the pill when I became pregnant.
And had been on it for 8 yrs.
