Getting Pregnant While on B.C.????

I got pregnant with both my daughters while on birth control pills. The pill doesn't work for everyone and sometimes it will work for a while but your body chemistry changes occasionally and you need to change brands once in a while. I would say make your doctor do a blood test. He works for you. People tend to forget that. Good luck

I got pregnant while on the pill due to some surgery and the antibiotics I was on. They never told me that that would make a difference. Love him dearly though wasn't expecting to have him....

I believe the Dr's will tell you that the pill is 99% effective, WHEN taken at the same time every day and when not missing any pill. So if you have been doing that, then it might just be your body, or you could be that 1%. Hopefully the dr will be able to confirm this for you either way. Good Luck!

I became pregnant with my now son while on the pill. I didn't miss any pills. And it took me two weeks to finally test positive. LOL, 6 tests worth. It was the last test I bought that finally showed positive. I kept testing though bc I knew something in my body was different.

Good Luck.

BTW, I'm on Mirena now. I don't think I could trust any other type of birth control out there. Just my 2 cents.

I became pregnant while on B.C. but that was due to Anti-biotics that were not supposed to react with the pill that did. A friend of mine got pregnant while using the "patch". So it is possible. However, we both had positive tests right away. I stopped having a cycle in my twenties while on the pill. Dr said if I had no problem not having a cycle we'd leave things as they were. Maybe you did not ovualte this month so you have no cycle. Hopefully your dr gets back to you soon, is there a way that you could speak with your Dr.s nurse? Maybe she would have the answer for you, or at least be able to get the ball rolling for some blood work.
Hope this eases your mind a bit.......:)
If God brings us to it, He'll bring us through it!
Take care!

I'll add my two cents...My 1.5 yr old is a delight for me...she's such a great girl...and she is an IUD baby!!! I got pg with an IUD...so never underestimate what the grand plan for your life is. NOTHING can stop you from having a child if it's meant to be. I also knew a couple that got pg after her tubes were tied, then he had a Vas. and they got pg again...if it's meant to be, it will happen!!

Best of luck to you and your family!!

I have 4 children. 2 of which were concieved on the pill. Anything is possible and if you are aware of your bodily changes. Don't hesitate to be sure. My 2nd one I concieved on the pill. My husband and I insisted on being tested several times. Thank God, we listened to our feelings. I didn't have a dramatic change, just a couple pounds and a late cycle. We just knew. Better to wait, check and be sure. We are so greatful for all God's blessings.

I would go to your doc. My sis was on the pill and got pregnant she took one test that was positive another that was negative and then when she went to the doc took another test that came up positive. they drew blood once and it showed she was pregnant they did a follow up and took more blood and it came back negative. you never no and nothing is 100% fool proof even oral BC. Good luck.

Relax! This has happened to my daughter several times and she's wasn't pregnant. She was worried at first but not anymore even tho she did get pregnant on the pill. She missed taking it for several days, not consecutively, and didn't realize that the consistent dosage was so important.

One reason women get pregnant on "the pill" is because they do not take it at the same time every day. I used to take "the pill" and was not aware of that.

It is unlikely that you are pregnant. Keep in mind that pregnancy tests are not reliable until a certain amount of time has elapsed. Save your money. And try to become less anxious.

Yes you can still get pregnant while taking birth control. I got pregnant with my son while I was on birth control but that was because I was taking an antibiotic and apparently the birth control becomes ineffective while taking an antibiotic. If you are taking any other medications with it maybe you should ask your doctor about if that could effect the birth control. I hope this helps and if your pregnant then congradulations!

I actually got pregnant while on birth control. I knew almost immediately but didn't get a positive at home test till I was almost 8 weeks along. A blood test can tell at 10 days. I would say definitely get a blood test done ASAP (you don't want to be off your BC for too long then you really would get pregnant!) for one and listen to your heart and body for 2. If everything in you is screaming your pregnant...then you are. If you're just nervous then you're probably not. If you are super congrats!

I became pregnant while on birth control in 1992 because I was really sick with strep and put on a strong dose of antibiotics. I forgot and the doctor forgot to warn me that antibiotics make BC not work. I just mention this in case you were on antibiotics last month, you just might be pregnant.

I got pregnant with our second child while on the Pill. I took 3 tests and the first 2 came back negative, two weeks later I took the third and it was positive. It was a shock as our older son was only a year and we weren't planning for a second. Number 2 will be here in the next couple weeks...and we are as excited as we were with number 1. So, if you are pg congrats!!!!

If you were taking an antibotic while you were taking the pill and didn't use any other form of BC you could be pregnant. Otherwise try to relax and hopefully you will start your cycle soon.

Best wishes

I got pregnant while on the "patch". Difference is, I tested positive right away, IT was HOT PINK. Only to find out that I was pregnant with twins. I guess when you get pregnant on B.C. you have more chances of multiples.
My bet is, you're are Not pregnant, so don't stress. You would have tested positive right away. Go to the doc and get another test done to verify. But stressing in the mean time wont be healthy for you.

Sometimes stress will throw off your cycle, as will a change in the females you are around, although i would think that the pill would over ride the second. Major stress however will win, as does simply the body changes over time. (or pregnancy) the call to your doctor will rule out any cysts or fibroids or other anomalies. I would agree to stop taking your pills until you know the cause. It sounds like you would be ok with the pregnancy & that's a great attitude for an unexpected baby.

I have two friends that both got pregnant while on the pill. Get a blood test!

Hi J.,
It is certainly possible to get pregnant while on the pill. My 18 year old daughter is living proof! Also, the more you stress about the possibility, the less likely you are to start. Make an appointment with your doctor. And remember sometimes we are given a wonderful gift when we aren't looking for one. My daughter has been such a blessing in my life, every day I am thankful that the pill didn't work.
