Yes you can. Of course it depends on the level of hormones and the regularity of taking the pill, but you most certainly can get pregnant while on the pill. I was told I couldn't get pregnant due to hormone fluctuation, so I went on the pill to help regulate periods. After one year of being on the pill,WHAMO! I'm a mother. Three years later, I was again told I couldn't get pregnant because my body wasn't producing hormone levels again. I decided to stay on the pill and add condoms to my arsenal. 6 months after my doctor said it wasn't possible. I became a mother of two!
First time was pill alone, and the second was pill and condoms. I've finally decided that my OB/GYN can never tell me "You can't get pregnant" because my body seems to take it as a dare.
Hope this helps!

∙ 13y agoUsually when pregnancy happens while using BCP, it happens when the woman is first put on the pill and not advised to use a condom for the first week, of the first packet. Or if two or more pills are missed in the first or last week of a packet after prior use.
Otherwise pregnancy will happen between .05% and 3% of all pill users, who used them as directed. BCP do not claim 100% protection, one or two women out of one hundred will be pregnant in a year, whether they took the pill 100% correctly or not.

∙ 7y agoYes since Birth Control can sometimes fail, but this is not that common if it is used properly. The best way not to get pregnant is to have multiple layers of birth control. For example you could combine the use of birth control pills and condoms to give you a much better chance of not getting pregnant.
