You CAN still get pregnant on birth control pills! If you're concerned that you may be pregnant take an at home pregnancy test.
Pregnancy can happen with any form of birth control. The only form of birth control that is 100% effective is to abstain. In my opinion if you're not ready to be a parent then you shouldn't be having sex...you never know when a "surprise" will happen.

I got pregnant using the Depo Shot. The only reason I started to suspect I was pregnant (you don't get a period while using Depo so I didn't have that to judge it by) was because my boobs swelled a whole cup size and were sore during what I found out was the first month of my pregnancy. I now have a beautiful six and a half month old daughter. The best thing that ever happened to me!
Every birth control has the potential to fail, the only sure fire way not to get pregnant is to not have sex, or get a hysterectomy.

Most birth control methods are about 99% effective, so one in every hundred women will get pregnant on birth control - it can definetly happen. You can tell with the usual pregnancy symptoms, if you suspect soemthing take a pregnancy test.

I got pregnant using the Merina IUD in November. With the IUD, near the end of the five years, my period went from six days down to three, but I was still able to tell by a missed period since I'm like clockwork. I took a test the day after my missed period and it was positive.

Yes, you can, and you should probably stop. Birth control is REALLY bad for your health as a woman, and if you are unmarried and worried about getting pregnant, stop having sex...you will hurt yourself.

Yes. I know 2 people who got pregnant while on the pill. One who got pregnant while on the depo shot, and one who got pregnant on the patch.

yes, i got pregnant on the patch and had been on it for about 6 months. i didn't know until i missed my period - i had implantation bleeding, and a feeling that i was prior to missing but that was it.
just b/c your on BC you can still use a condom if you worried about it -it will protect you have stds too
