Yes, you can get pregnant even if you use
birth control pills. But the chances for
such a thing are very small. Birth control
pills are the most efficient contraceptive
method - efficiency is rated at more than
99%. If you use birth control pills
properly, the chances for getting pregnant
are less than 1%. The only 100% secure
contraceptive method is abstinence
(avoiding sex).
