The chances are slim, no protection is 100% effective.

It is possible to get pregnant at anytime during the month.

If you are going to use this method for birth control, prepare for another pregnancy. It does not work, at least not very well. You need to use some form of birth control, either condoms, or the pill. You are MOST fertile, halfway through your cycle, day14, 15 , and 16........but you can STILL get pregnant other days, even while on your period, if you have sex.

Not usually. On average, women ovulate about 14 days after the start of their period, when on a 28 day cycle that is regular. However, it is not an absolute fact that it works that way for everyone. They say to use birth control (non-hormonal types anyway) even during your period because there still exists the possibility of conception, which of course, requires ovulation. I would think that if the cycle is not regular to begin with, that would increase the odds of that happening.

Well, the pill is about 95% safe against pregnancy. The only thing that is 100% safe is to not be doing the sex deed.

As a nurse, I am going to tell you up front - nothing is 100% effective against pregnancy except abstinence.  That obviously not being the case, you should also be using a spermacide along with your birth control pills.  STILL this will not be 100% effective.  You could also use condoms...  Even with condoms, you're still at risk for pregnancy.  Of course knowing your partner is clean is essential.  Have you both been tested for STD's?  Please, take it from me, you DON'T want or need a disease.  BE SAFE.

Yes, women do not ovulate during pregnancy.\n\nThis fact actually forms the basis of most oral contraceptives.  They release hormones which mimic those present during pregnancy, thus "tricking" the woman's body into "thinking" that it is pregnant, and preventing ovulation.

Birth control pills aren't 100% effective so there's always a possible of getting pregnant, but it's a small possibility!!  If you only missed your pill by an hour you shouldn't have anything to worry about!

Yes. Pre-ejaculate is actually more fertile than the actual ejaculate. If he touched himself, and got it on his finger, and then touched you, you could get pregnant. You can get pregnant on your period and even on birth control. If you dont take the pill every single day, it actually makes you more fertile. Sex is no joke or something to take chances with. Protect yourself and your future children!!!

well the chances are higher during ovulation but really there is a chance of getting pregnant at ANY time.  Although the statistics say that a woman only has a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month accidents happen all the time and seems like the percentage is a little higher.  SO if you dont want to get pregnant protect yourself at all times :)

Actually, you don't need a regular period unless you're wanting to concieve, and then you wouldn't take birth control. You would be jacking up your body to take a pill for a period the same time every month. Basically, the pill tricks the body into thinking that it's already pregnant (so you won't get pregnant). You gain weight, have tenderness in your breasts, are irritable and pretty much have pregnancy symptoms as normal effects of the pill. Please think twice before using them, as they are also associated with blood clots, infertility later and certain types of cancer.

BC pills and the shot simulate a state of pregnancy upon the female body, hence the reason she can't get pregnant, also the moderate wheight gain. So when a female is on BC of course she's going to act a little crazy at times because of the varying surges of hormones that simulate a pregnant state. Also over time it could kill the chances of having a child so consult with your family P.h. beore taking any type of BC.

I would say a fifty fifty chance. I know two people that got pregnant on the pill. one took antibiotics while on the pill and got pregnant the other forgot ONE pill and got pregnant. I also have a friend that got pregnant on the depo- provera shot.  She did not use protection the first week like she was supposed to and got pregnant.

I was pregnant for 3 months while taking the pill.  I did not know I was obviously.  I started feeling sick and my doctor just did a test to be safe and it turned out I was already 3 months pregnant.  I had my baby last december and he is healthy, happy, and adorable.  Just stop taking them and dont worry like I did.  I was sooo freaked that something would be wrong but I did all that worrying for nothing.  Good Luck.

Yes, the only way to prevent pregnancy 100% is not to have sex.  You can get pregnant before you have your first period, you can get pregnant at any time in your cycle, you can even get pregnant while using birth control even if you follow the directions EXACTLY.

yep. birth control throws off the menstral cycle and it can be irregular for several months.
