If you take the birth control pill everyday at the same time can you still get pregnant?

You will become pregnant if you do not take your birth control pills regularly. Birth control will not work at all if you do not take it everyday at the same time.If you do not take your birth control regularly, you are not allowing the hormones to regulate and adapt in your system. By taking your birth control every day and at the same time as directed by all physicians, you will be 99.9%+ protected from pregnancy. Also if you just started taking birth control pills, you must wait 1 month before you have unprotected intercourse, because birth control does not regulate in your system anytime before that.
