People do get pregnant on the pill. It's a fact. People will tell you it's practically foolproof but that's misleading. It's not 99% effective. Real world statistics show the pill is only 91% effective, so you do have a 9% chance of getting pregnant, even if you remember to take it. At your age, I would strongly recommend a back up method.
1 1 0 091% is in common use where it’s not taken exactly at the same time, mixed with medication and other causes. However with ideal perfect use it is 99% effective. However I’m not asking for the facts, which I’m very much aware of. I’m just asking for other users experiences on the pill.
I've had friends that have. There is always that chance. The risk is even higher if you are one of those people that doesn't take it at the same time each day or sometimes forgets. If you want to stop pregnancy completely either wait or wear a condom on top of taking the pill.

0 0 0 0Yep we had our last child while she was on birth control, it was the shot though.
0 0 0 0Was she consistent with it? Same time everyday or did it change up sometimes?
The shot you go every 3 months I think it was and yes she went and still a soldier got through. So I had to go the snip route.
