im using LO/OVRAL 28 (nongestrel and ethinyl tablets), i have been on the pill for almost 2 months now and i know that the pill protects against pregnancies and is effective 99.9% or around there. But i was wondering...how many times in one month can you have unprotected sex if your on the pill and youre taking it every day at the same time? Does having unprotected sex alot in one month when your on the pill increase the chances of becoming pregnant?

I would also keep in mind that the studies and statistics are for "the average woman".
Personally, I have PCOS which causes my hormones to be out of whack. I was on birth control as part of my treatment plan.
After a two week stomach ache which I thought was a virus or infection that wasn't going away, I found out that I was pregnant with our first.
I was zealous about taking my pills, but birth control simply didn't work for me.

Well are you more likely to get pregnant on the pill from doing it 1 time one month or 90 times in another month?
If you were going to get pregnant it would most likely be in the month you did it 90 times, logic would only say that.
But logic and reproductive health and correlation don't go smoothly together.
But you can have as much unprotected sex as you want if you are with a steady bf/husband, otherwise obviously use a condom aswell and aslong as you are aware there is always the smallest chance, nothing is 100%.
But aslong as you take it everyday at the same time, when you are not sick or anything then you shouldn't/hopefully not have any problems.

If you are on the pill and take it as directed and do not miss a dose, and you and your steady boyfriend have both been tested for std's then as many times as you wish. The way the pill works is by suppressing the ovaries to not release a egg to be fertilized. If there is no egg then there can not be a pregnancy. Also oral contraceptives such as the Lo/Ovral28 that you take does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/ Aids genital warts etc. It is always a good idea to use condoms as well as birth control pills to up the chances to 0% for pregnancy. Hope this info helps!

It's best not to. You can still get pregnant on the pill. I got pregnant while I was on the pill and we used a condom. One in a million chance -- right? Yeah, it sucked.
Don't be a fool. Don't have unprotected sex at any time unless you want a child. The pill doesn't protect you against STDs, either.

If you're on the pill, then you could be having unprotected sex, non-stop, for three years, and the chance of getting pregnant would still be the same.
What happens when you're on the pill, is that the hormones stop you from ovulating. If you don't ovulate, you cannot get pregnant.

You can have sex countless times. Be sure you take your pill at the EXACT SAME TIME every day or they are really ineffective.
If you are still concerned- use a back up method like a condom (remember- the pill does not protect against STDs)

You took your very last pill once conceivable and he "pulled out". The rish of having pregnant with pre-*** is extremely low. there remains threat even if it truly is extremely low. i imagine you'd be wonderful. bypass on your Dr. Get the morning after pill no matter if it isn't too late. formerly seventy 2 hours. From own journey i imagine you'd be wonderful. i'm a mom of two and a spouse who's husband likes that technique(pulling out)

No. As long as you take the pill at the same time everyday and don't miss any....you can have sex as much as you want! Have Fun!

Oh gee the pill is not 100 per cent effective if taken properly. Good luck you might be new parents soon if you are missing days/

Have sex as much as you want. That's why you're on the freakin' pill in the first place. What the Hell?!
