Not all birth control is 100% but chances are probably not. If she has been on birth control for any length of time chances are no she's not pregnant. Then again if the two of you have any doubt take an in home pregnancy test.

Most forms of birth control are 99% effective, meaning that there is always a chance that pregnancy can result. A condom has a failure rate of 11-14%. The pill results in 1-5% failure rate ( per 100 in one year). So there's always a possibility. Try using spermicidal foam in combination with the pill and that will increase your chances of preventing pregnancy.

Yes, birth control is only about 90% effective, it only takes 1/10 of a percent of chance to get pregnant.

I been on birth control pills forever, and I never got pregnant, but there is a small percentage of girls who still get pregnant. Birth control pills isn't 100% effective.

I did. My daughter is now 18 months old. If you are not ready for a child try birth control and a condom. At least then you are increasing your chances of not getting pregnant. I was ready for the consequences. I hope you are as well.

Yes, she can become pregnant. Birth control is only 99% effective. Antibiotics and some other medications can render the active ingredients ineffective as well.

She should not, if she is taking the pills the way she should without missing it. The only thing about that, is that you have to trust your girl that she is taking the pills but if she was to decide to stop taking it, you would never know, and if she wants to get pregnant, then she will - Many women tend to play these games and try to tie her man down by having a child, therefore, I would suggest always using a condom, because you need to think for yourself and trust nobody else.

It can, I have a son to prove it can.
Usually birth control has around a 99 percent chance of working, however that's only if she has been on it for awhile (more then a few weeks) and she takes it every day.
Doubling up on contraceptive is a good way of hedging your bets if your concerned.

Firstly dont always leave the responsibility to the woman ...ie Protection. There are side effects to taking the pill....use a condom. But since she is already using the pill...a condom would still be wise...to answer your question...yes she could be pregnant..any time you have sex whether your using the pill or even condoms ( they break sometimes) ... the possibility is there.

Birth control is not very effective the first month, but after that it's concidered safe to have sex.
