Yup, it happened to me. I was on
tri-cyclen 21 from when I was 14 to 18 and
when I was 18 (took the pills religiously)
and I still got pregnant.
I ended up miscarrying. But basically
what my doctor told me is that they
recommend changing birth control every so
often because, just like with any other
medication, your body can possibly start
to build an immunity to the medication and
it obviously won't do it's job anymore...
I would switch to something different if I
were you :)
good luck!

I'd have to say pretty much anything your
not on right now...
I'm on alesse right now, which I was
absolutely in love with until I started
spotting for the past 11 days... But that
could be due to a few things and not the
birth contol :p synphasic was a good one
for me as well.
You're doctor would probably be able to
give you a better idea of what's best for
you, but I think just changing to
something new will be what your body
probably needs.
Good luck!

Thanks. I was on alesse at first but then
I switched to loestrin and then I switched
to demulen, and that made me too sick, so
then I switched to marvelon
