Yes...your level of fertility or missing pills can increase the chance. I have been lucky and the pill works for me but my best friends mother got PG on the pill twice without missing any pills.

Hi..again...lol. To answer your question..."YES"! A woman can get pregnant while taking "the pill". I became pregnant while on the "pill". It's not 100% effective. Especially if the "pill" isn't the right strength. If you want a "baby" that bad, then stop taking the "pill". This would increase your chances on becoming pregnant. But as I stated in your last question, just make sure that this is what you want and your partners. Baby makes "three" and your life will change.

Yes, you can get pregnant on a pill.
Chances increase because pills that come in a blister-pack and have to be taken according to the days marked, usually carry one or more placebos- or dummies. This is done to prevent an overdose of the drug in your body and to allow time for any metabolites (undigested drug and its variants) to be drained out. Also, pills do not guarantee 100 percent contraception or birth control.
Also the efficiency of the pill is decreased if it is taken at varying times...such as one this afternoon, another tomorrow night, the next in the morning etc. To ensure proper effect, the pill has to be taken almost exactly at the same time daily. This helps the body to retain proper serum levels of the active ingredient and offer an improved level of protection, throughout the day.
If you had sex between times when you were unprotected or had low, negligible serums of the drug- you can get pregnant.

Hi there, i got caught pregnant on the pill with my daughter. The pill is not a 100% so you should condoms as well. If you miss a day on your pill , forget to take it at the same time, on antibiotics or have sickness, this can increase your chances of pregnancy.

Yes you can. No birth control is 100%. If you miss the pill for a day or if you don't take them on the same time every day, those will increase your chances of getting pregnant.

What increases your chances is not taking them everyday at the same time each day and also some medications can interfer with your birth control pills so before taking any prescription meds especially infections meds ask your doctor and during that time you are taking infection pills you should use condoms.
I do not know anyone who has gotten pregnant while on the pill.

Yes you can still get pregnant on the pill. I would still suggest using protection even if you are on the pill.

Ask my sister she has three kids and was on the pill when she got pregnant with all of them. I can tell you that antibiotics will cancel out birth control so don't use them while on birth control. No birth control is 100% effective.

Yes if you miss certain pills toward the end of the packet.
