I heard you can still get pregnant while on birth control (pills). What happens if you are pregnant (but you do not know) and continue to take the pills?
Answer:
While you CAN get pregnant on the pill, the chances are exceptionally low (even with imperfect use, the pill is still 95% effective).
If you skip on period, take a HPT. If you take the pill and skip 2 periods, you should make an appointment with your doctor immediately.
The most immediate concern is to make sure the fertilized ovum (if one exists) is in proper placement. Commonly, ectopic (tubal) pregnancies occur while on BCPs.
As for the fetus, most likely the problem might be low birth weight, but only very close observation of fetal development will determine what might happen.
If you think you're pregnant, make an appointment with your doctor without delay!
This one lady got pregnent even after she had her tubes tied. I was asking her husband what kind of sperm he has. I still had my period for awhile even.
First things first, you need to take a pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant or not and if you are you need to stop taking the pill right away.
Yes there are ways you can get pregnant while being on the pill one of them is when you miss a day or two and then you try to double up on the pill sometimes it's to late.
All forms of birth control have a failure rate. When human use/error is involved, those failure rates increase.
What happens if you take birth control pills while you're pregnant?
If you continued taking your birth control pill because you didn't realize you were pregnant, don't be alarmed. Despite years of this accident happening, there's very little evidence that exposure to the hormones in birth control pills causes birth defects.
Still, the birth control pill is a potent estrogen. Lessons learned from women who took diethylstilbestrol 鈥?a synthetic estrogen that was later linked with cancer 鈥?to prevent miscarriage in early pregnancy suggest that such exposure should be minimized.
Once you learn that you're pregnant, stop taking the birth control pill.
