Question Actual Chance?!

Hey Every1!
Om here is my question... What is the actual chance of getting pregnant if I have been on Birth Control for 5 months, taken it perfectly and never missed a pill, but didn't use a condom? I mean is it like being hit by lightning type of slim chance? Thanx Every1... And yes I know... I was stupid for not using one!!

Mathmatically speaking, I can't give you an actual percentage but it can happen. Have you taken antibiotics - even for a UTI?

My doctor told me that if you take the pill, every day, but are off by more than an hour or two, that it will render some pills ineffective. Nowadays they are so sensitive! (that's when I switched to an injectable bcp - 1x a month and no more thought)

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted.

I doubt if you'd get pregnant, but you've increased your chances of getting STD's by not using a condom.
