what are the chances of getting pregnant while on the pill and taking it correctly?

Question

just curious

Answer 1

About 1% chance you will get pregnant long enough for you to be aware of it. I'm not sure of the statistics, but BC pills work three ways;

1st line of defense is prevention of ovulation, in which case the egg is never fertilized and you go on. However, especially with today's low dosage pills, there is quite a big chance of "breakthrough" which is the term for when you ovulate anyway.

2nd line of defense, if you "breakthrough" ovulate anyway, is prevention of the fertilized egg from implanting in the lining of the uterus, causing the new life to die and be flushed away with your period. You would not be aware of this. For those who are firmly pro-life and believe that life begins at conception, this is a problem.

3rd line of defense is that the hormones in the BC pill cause the implanted egg to die and detach from the lining of the uterus. This usually happens during those times when you're "late" but you have your period anyway. Usually it is a bit heavier than normal, and may have more bits and pieces than usual, which is the uterine lining and the dead baby, however small. This is also considered an abortion by those who are firmly pro-life and who believe that life begins at conception.

So, your chances of "getting pregnant" are actually a bit higher than 1%. It is also important that you realize that you are taking that risk by engaging in sexual behavior knowing that you still have a small chance of becoming pregnant. Please be prepared to deal with the product of that chance, a baby, by taking responsibility and allowing that child to be born, even if you decide not to keep him or her. Please choose adoption. Please choose life.

The hormones found in birth control also cause breast cancer. They have hormones in larger dosages than Hormone Replacement Therapy used by women during menopause. It was announced Friday Dec 15th 2006 that HRT hormones definitely cause breast cancer, and they are the same hormones that are in bc pills and other hormonal methods of birth control.

Answer 2

Ive been on the pill for 3 months now and taking it correctly. I think the chances of getting pregnant are slim when taken correctly, But nothing is 100%! Goodluck.

Answer 3

there is always a risk nothing is guaranteed except for abstinence i was on the pill and took it the correct way and read all the information and also used condems and still i ended up pregnant so like everything else you needs to really be aware of what can happen and if you do become pregnant you need to realize that that baby will be your responsibility whether you decide to keep the child or put the child up for adoption just remember if you do get pregnant that the baby did not ask to be conceived it was coneceived by your actions and your partners actions

Please just act and think responsibly
GOOD LUCK IN FINDING WHAT YOU WANT TO FIND OUT

Less than 1%. BC pills are very effective and they do not cause abortions. That is misguided faux science.
