Yesterday my bf and i had intercourse and the condom broke. none of us knew until we felt the sperm on us so we don't know when it could have broken. i am on the pill but i've only been on for a month so is there a possibility that i could get pregnant?

Yes you can still get pregnant but luckily for you the chances are greatly against it. As long as you have been taking the pill regularly and not missed a day you should be good. And even though it broke I have to applaud you for taking the effort to use a condom and not relying on the pill alone.
P.S. Just so you have your terminology right its called semen, sperm is carried in it.

The Pill is only at its most effective (99%) when it is taken properly - that means taking it at the same time every day. If you've only been on it for a month, then it depends on what kind of pill you are on. Some say that they are effective against pregnancy within a week, others within 3+ weeks. If the condom you used had a spermicidal lubricant, then that can help to reduce the risk as well. Call your doctor if you are really uncertain, and he can tell you what you can do as far as back up methods - which most are only effective if used within 48-72 hours after intercourse.
No method is 100% effective against pregnancy except Abstinence. I have had friends that got pregnant while using several different methods - the pill, the ring, the shot, etc. (a different method for each, of course)

Yes you can, I was on the pill and got pregnant ( I am almost 7 months along) with our 2nd son. It can happen. Nothing is 100%. Take a test in 3 weeks. And if you are get married. Kids need parents who are married. Or give the child up for adoption.

yes you can still fall pregnant being on the pill. I know this because the same thing happened to me and my little girl is now 6 years old. And i was really scared at first cause i was only 17 but i would never of changed a thing.

Yes, You still can. Nothing is 100 per cent safe on preventing conception. For example if a person is sick while taking the pill it may not work.
And to the deeper question. WAKE UP. What you and your boy friend is doing is wrong according to your own conscience, and the bible. You need to turn away from your sins, and give your heart to Jesus Christ.
Then you can have a relationship with God, and not have to worry about the causes of what sin can do to you.

Bear in mind that NO method of birth control prevents pregnancy all of the time. Birth control methods can fail, but you can greatly increase a method’s success rate by using it correctly all of the time. The only way to be sure you never get pregnant is to not have sex (abstinence). (Can you hear George W. shouting this???)
It depends upon your cycle, the pill, how regularly you take it, etc.
With the condom breaking, you may have to worry with other things than preganancy, too... since birth control pills do nothing to prevent the spread of HIV, hepatitis B and herpes, to name a few.
You may wish to visit your doctor to check to be sure all is well.
The best of luck to you!

The only birth control that is 100% effective is abstinence. So, yes, it is possible for you to get pregnant when on the pill.

If you relatively do not wish to get pregnant, use a condom. There are plenty of folks that also get pregnant at the capsule. If you omit one, take antibiotics whilst you are ill, or if you're extraordinary fertile, at the fallacious sort of capsule on your frame, you hazard it. Just watch out! At least you might use that spermacide foam or some thing!

Absolutly yes!!!! I was on the pill and took it religously and I ended up pregnant with my 6 year old son. So yes you can get pregnant while taking birth control.

I was on the pill when I fell pregnant, but I wouldn't worry, you probably won't be, and the more you stress about it, the more likely you'll delay your period, making you think you are. Just relax, and if you don't come on, get a test.
