The Pill is 92-99.7% effective as birth control.
Over the past 18 years...
"The Pill is the most popular type of birth control. There are many different brands of The Pill and they come in packs of 21 or 28 pills. One pill is taken every day. The first 21 pills have a combination of synthetic estrogen and progesterone hormones. The Pill stops ovulation, preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs. The Pill also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the uterus. The hormones in the Pill prevent fertilization. The last 7 pills of a 28-day pack have no hormones and are called spacer pills. The Pill is 92-99.7% effective as birth control. It does not protect against reproductive tract infections, including HIV/AIDS."

It depends on the type you are on, how you body reacts to it, etc. How long you have been on has nothing to do with how it works. My cousin was just on it to help treat her PCOS becuase somehow it was supposed to help her get pregnant. While she was on it about 2 weeks ago she just found out she was pregnant. I've also known of people getting pregnant alot on the pill. So it depends. Chances are if its been 2 years you'll be fine.

Do you take it everyday or do you skip days and double up other days? I used to forget to take my pill all the time and double up later,...and I got pregnant. My gyno told me that once off the pill for a few days you become super fertile. My mother in law got pregnant while using birth control and condoms...scary!

With "perfect" use, meaning you take it at about the same time every day and don't miss any, you have less than a 1% chance. Less-than-perfect use and things like not using a barrier method as a backup when you take antibiotics raise the failure rate.

It's not very likely while on the pill. One in 5 people have herpes simplex II so you should still use a condom. While on the pill, it is much more likely you will get herpes.

If you take it the same time every day, you won't get pregnant.
