Contraception
Can I get pregnant if I am on the pill?
The pill is 99.7% effective when used correctly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This implies that after a year, less than one in every 100 woemn who use the pill will become pregnant. Of course, this is dependent on the sort of pill that you are taking and if you are taking it correclty and appropriately. Some reasons of pill failure include: missing a pill, not taking the pills at approximately the same time each day, vomiting shortly after taking the pill, taking medications that interfere with the pill and also not starting a new pack of pills right away. As a result, while there is still a chance of becoming pregnant while using the pill, the risk is reduced when the pill is taken appropriately.
