What are the chances of getting pregnant when using the pill perfectly without a condom?
alyssa asked:
I know for a fact that they dont protect you whatsoever against STD’s, but if you use the pill completely the way you are supposed to and a guy doesnt pull out, what are the chances of the girl getting pregnant? Is that what the 99% stands for when they say it is 99% effective?

I say you have a higher chance of a girl getting pregnant if you dont use a condom (and the guy not pulling out), even if shes using it perfectly.
My friend says that you cant get pregnant if you use the pill perfectly.
Whos right?

You still can get pregnant, it’s not very common though. I know from experience, I took my pill every morning at 5:30 am, never fail. My daughter is now 7, i think it was the pill I was on, I’ve talked with a lot of girls on here that had this happen to them on the same pill (ortho tri-cyclin), but there is a chance with every pill or they would be 100%.
Just be careful, and good luck.

You can still pregnant. There is still a .01% chance of it… However low, its still a chance. If you’re not ready to have a baby, I wouldnt gamble with that 99.99% crap. Wrap it up or dont do it at all. Even condoms break and have holes in them. Be smart

Although birth control pills are 99.9% effective if used properly the chance of getting pregnant is still there. It happen to me. Its not 100% (pretty close but not quite there). My advice would be to always use another form of contraceptive as well as the pill.

My friend had all 3 of her children while being on birth control. She had actually had the shot and was on the pill when she conceived her 3rd child. They ended up doing testing on her and found out that for some reason birth control is not effective on her body (obviously).
