What Are the Chances of Getting Pregnant On Birth Control? Posted: 05-17-05 18:59pm
Anyone have any stories where they know
someone who got pregnant while on birth
control? I always take mine on time,
and I never let my partner cum inside
except for this one time (2 weeks ago) and
now im super worried that I might be
pregnant, also when is the right time to
take a pregnancy test? :?:

Charts to Tell You Whats Up Posted: 05-17-05 21:38pm
oral contraceptives--combined pill
fda approval date: first in 1960; most
recent in 2003
description: a pill that suppresses
ovulation by the combined actions of the
hormones estrogen and progestin. A
chewable form was approved in november
2003.
Failure rate (number of pregnancies
expected per 100 women per year): 1-2
(this information is if you are taking a
combined pill with both etrogen and
pregestron, such as yasmin. It is the
most common type of pill so you most
likely use this type.)
oral contraceptives--progestin-only
minipill
fda approval date: 1973
description: a pill containing only the
hormone progestin that reduces and
thickens cervical mucus to prevent the
sperm from reaching the egg.
Failure rate (number of pregnancies
expected per 100 women per year): 2
i hope you found this information useful.
Don't worry about being pregnant, if you
are use the pill correctly there is less
than a one percent change you are
pregnant.

Take your pill on time.
If you have an upset stomach -- vomiting
or diarhhea -- use another method
(condoms, or non-penetrative sex) until
your next period.
If you do these two things, you are
removing about 80% of the reasons why
pills fail.
Don't be paranoid. If you are going to
use hormonal birth control, you might as
well get the benefit from it!

Also check any medications you take to
make sure they don't interfere. That
includes prescription and herbal. Then
you'll remove the other 19% of why they
fail!!
*I don't think allergy pills should
interfere but you should ALWAYS check with
your doctor or pharmacist before you take
anything. Certain steroids, antibitics,
etc. can effect it.
Your missed period is most likely due to
something else.
