JJ asked in Pregnancy & ParentingPregnancy · 1 decade ago

Could I be pregant even though i'm on the pill?

I have been on the pill for almost 2 months now. My bf and I always use a condom as well. The other night we didn't however (Sunday). I read that sperm can live 5 days inside of a women. My period is due next week (Sunday). If I get my period then does that mean I am not pregant, or should I take a test after my period just to be safe. This is stressing me out a little, but I know some people who just relay on the pill and don't use condoms and they are safe. Help...Thanks.

    The chances of you being pregnant are really slim, about 1%. Just wait for your period as it's highly unlikely you're pregnant.

    The pill when used correction is 98% effective. If you're using a condom you are more than safe. There shouldn't be a chance of you getting pregnant, although there are the rare instances. With the pill you aren't protected only alone on the pill the first month, you should always use a back up birth control method such as the condom. The second month you're completely covered, although a condom should be used because of the 2% chance of becoming pregnant. My mom got pregnant on the pill and my sister is now 12 years old. I used the pill for almost two years and never became pregnant and didn't use a condom either and I will admit I didn't take it every day at the same time, I took it every day and around the time I went to bed or remembered to take it. I never got pregnant until my husband and I tried.

    As for getting your period, yes if you get your period you're not pregnant. If you get spotting though however you should take a test the next week because spotting is a sign of pregnancy.

    Do you take your pills regularly? If you miss a pill here...miss a pill there...and then dont use a condom, that could potentially cause you to fall pregnant. If your period still comes on Sunday, you COULD still be pregnant. Depending on how light the period is...I would take a test anyway just to be safe. Good luck.

    the pill is about 98% so yeah there is a change you could be pregnant, i would wait for your period to come , if its late try not to stress else it will be because of that! i would wait for your period to come and take a pregnancy test, just so you can put your mind at ease (:
