me, only if you count condoms, lol. i was
taking a one month break from birth
control pills so i could get tests done on
my heart ( i was having palpitations and
they wanted to rule out the pill as a
cause ). so we were using condoms
instead. i swear to god we only did it
twice and bam!!
i guess that's not what you're really
asking though. it never happened when i
was on the pill.

I didn't, and I'm pretty fertile since I
got pregnant on my 2nd cycle trying to
conceive (and the first cycle trying, our
timing was off, so my chances were not
that good anyway). I took the pill for 5
years and then used condoms exclusively
for about a year and never had any
scares.
I have heard the low dose pills are more
likely to fail, particularly if you are
not good at taking them at a regular time
or skip pills or fail to use backup
protection when you're on antibiotics or
have vomiting or diarrhea. I was never on
a super-low dose pill. Mostly, I took an
older triphasic pill (ortho-novum 7/7/7)
and then 2 higher estrogen pills, Ovcon50
and Ovcon35.

I got pregnant with my first on the pill.
My second was the 'withdrawal non-method'
third was just after I had my coil took
out

ok now i'm super freaked out...before my
now bf I wanted to wait til marriage..fell
in love yadda yadda stuff happened and
because everytime we did anything even
with a condom and pulling out I would
freak out I decided to go on b.c. thinking
my chances after going on that were slim
to none...now...i'm just as paranoid about
it as I was BEFORE the pill...maybe I
should just become a born again virgin or
something...i'm at a loss...i dont know
what to do about being so paranoid...i
really dont understand logically, it can
happen if someone were using condoms AND
b.c....like..those chances are really
really slim right? i think i might try a
spermacide...plus we do the whole pulling
out thing..which, i know really doesn't do
much of anything but, it just makes me
feel better...QUESTION...I am on Yaz..a
low dose pill, should I go on a higher
dosage pill to be safer??? I take my pill
religiously everyday being no later than
20 min...i start my first placebos of the
month tomorrow, now i'm gonna freak out
until my "period" comes..which usually is
the last placebo pill day for some
reason...gah

If you are taking your pills as regularly
as you say, I wouldn't be worried. Getting
pregnant on the pill is not that common.
It doesn't help anything to worry anyways.
I was on the pill for four years and never
had a scare.
