What are the chances?

Question

What are the chances of getting pregnant while on the pill? My SO and I don't use condoms and sometimes he doesn't pull out. I'm only 3 days late but I've never been late before. I'm actually always early. I'm extremely nauseous partly because I'm so stressed about it. I just could not handle a baby right now. So does anyone know the chances?

Answer

There's about a .001% chance if you take your pill at the same time every day, never missing a pill. Glow posted a graph that said over the course of 10 years of perfect use there's still 2 pregnancies that could occur because it's not 100% effective. I've had 2 pregnancy scares on the pill. I've been on the pill for over ten years, but only sexually active for about 8 years. Best thing to do is to get a test (dollar store ones work just as good as $10 ones) then once you have your results then you can talk to your boyfriend about them (if it's positive talk about your options of keeping, aborting, or giving up the baby, or if it's negative talk about possibly using extra protection so you feel more comfortable and aren't scared each month.) I've never been pregnant on or off the pill.
