It's very possible. I hear about it quite often actually (but people DO talk about freak accidents)..
So, I think that you should take a pregnancy test! But I hope your body is just adjusting to all the changes that take place while on birth control.
I just got my gardasil shot and it hurts like a biznitch! so, good luck with that!! I would ask your doctor to take a quick pregnancy test while you're there!

Yes you can. Birth control is not 100% effective no matter what kind you are on. Some types of birth control take a while to become effective once you start taking them. They also must be taken/used correctly for maximum effectiveness. For example, if you are taking the pill, then it should be taken at the same time everyday without missing a day. If you do miss a day then double up the next day and use another form of birth control for the next month. Different medications can also affect the effectiveness of birth control.
If you think you may be pregnant, and think you may keep it, then get tested right away because you do not want to continue using birth control while pregnant as it could effect the fetal development.
Here is a link to a a chart the FDA put out showing the different types of birth control and the percentages of pregnancies with each. http://www.fda.gov/Fdac/features/1997/conceptbl.html
Hope this helps.

Yes, you can get pregnant while your on birth control. It is possible that your body can begin to feeling different as a result of the birth control. I suggest you make appointment with your doctor. They can tell you whether or not your pregnant and adjust the birth control if necessary.

Yes, you can get pregnant on birth control. You've only been on it a few months though so your body still may be in the adjustment phase.
If you're worried about being pregnant, go take a test.

Yes, you can get pregnant on birth control.
Depending on the method you're using, however, these "symptoms" may be your body adjusting to the birth control, or something entirely unrelated.

You can be, but it's uncommon. You may be having a side affect from the birth control.

YES YES YES it is possible to get pregnant when on the pill I have 2 kids and both time I was on the pill. You still need to use condoms to be on the safe side. Still get checked out to see if you are pregnant cuz if you are you need to stop the pill
