The chances are very slim. It is possible, but very unlikely. The pill and a spermicide condom are the best way to go for protection.

This is the method that my boyfriend and I use. It is the most effective because if the condom fails and he ejaculates inside of you, you always have the Birth Control to back it up. But this instance is highly unlikely!

its the best way to go that is what my boyfriend and i use and it is great!!! but it is highly unlikely to get pregnant

I WOULD SAY PREETY DAMB HARD ! IF U TOOK THE PILL AS INSTRUCTED AND ALWAYS USED A CONDEM THATS PRETTY MUCH FOOL PROOF,MAYBE IF U R NERVOUS ABOUT BIENG PREGNANT SOMTIMES NERVES DELAY YOUR CYCLE

Zero. unassuming that there is no divine intervention.

about 0.01%

The odds are very slim, but it is possible especially if the condom breaks and/or if the regularity of your pill taking has suffered any lapses. If condoms are 99% effective and the pill is 99% effective, that means there is still a one in ten thousand chance of becoming pregnant over no protection at all. I was in a relationship where I had sex 5,000 times in a seven year period with double protection. Didn't get pregnant.

The pill doesnt work for everyone and condoms can break or have a hole in it. It is very unlikely but it can happen.

Unlikely but still possible

I'm going to take a nerd approach here...assuming that the birth control pill when used as directed is 97% effective and a condom when used entirely correct is 96% effective then here's what we have: A 3% chance of pregnancy with the pill and a 4% chance with a condom. Now when used in conjunction with one another we have the probability of A intersection with B (A = pill, B = condom) since these two events are independent of one another. Therefore to determine the likelihood of event A or B happening or both events occurring we would simply multiply P(A) X P(B), yielding 0.0012 or 0.12% chance of pregnancy given both are used correctly, as directed, and in conjunction with one another. So, if you have sex using the aforementioned method with no pregnancies 832 times...I'd be careful about one more night of passion b/c the law of probability says that girl is gonna get prego!! and makes it a little easier to understand.

that is a very secure method to use because basicly you are doubling up, i use the same method that you do for about 4 months now and i have not become pregnant, so it looks pretty unlikely

Chances of PregnancyThere is always a chance in everything, but if you are using protection correctly your chances of getting pregnant are very low.

What are some effective products for birth control?

There are many effective products and techniques for birth control. The most effective and popular is the contraceptive pill. Also available are condoms, the coil and the cap.


What if you don't switch immediately from Depo-Provera to the birth control pill?

If you don't start the birth control pill within the time that the injection was effective, you will need to use a backup method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days of the first pill pack in order to get uninterrupted protection. Keep in mind that the birth control pill is less effective than Depo Provera, so you may choose to use condoms regularly for additional pregnancy (and disease) protection; however, both are considered highly-effective methods.


Do your wife and you have to use condoms during the period week of her pill?

No method of birth control is 100% effective, including condoms. Of every 100 couples who use condoms correctly and consistently, only two will experience a pregnancy. The pill is 99% effective if used exactly as prescribed and a day is never missed.


What can you buy to prevent pregnancy?

Birth control, condoms, the morning after pill, no sex.


How affective is it when you use a condom and birth control?

Condoms alone are 85-98% effective by themselves. The birth control pill is 92-99.7% effective. If you are using both properly the chances of conceiving are slim to none. Keep in mind nothing is ever 100% effective (except abstinence)


What are Effective birth control methods?

If you want the church way... ABSTINENCE! Or Natural Family planning! Otherwise condoms or the pill are pretty effective methods... Methods like pulling out aren't as effective. Be careful wit this one


Which of all birth control methods are partially effective?

The ONLY birth control that is 100% affective is abstinece. But, if you get on a pill, shot, or IUD AND use condoms, you are much less likely to become pregnant. There are several different ways to avoid it.


Is birth control pill is the most common and most effective birth control method?

True


If you only use birth control with out a condom will you still get pregnant?

If you use the birth control pill perfectly, it is 99.7% effective all on its own. If you mess up, it is 92%. When used with the male condom it is 99.99% effective with perfect use, and 98.8% effective with typical use. The risk of pregnancy is very low while on the pill, but remember that only condoms can protect you from sexually transmitted diseases.


What type of birth control method is 100 effective?

No- the only 100% effective method, unfortunately, is abstinence. Combining birth control pills/condoms/spermicide would *greatly* reduce the chance of getting pregnant, but there's still a small chance you could.


If you take the morning after pill and contiue to take the birth control pill is the birth control still effective for the rest of the month?

If you had missed a pill or been late with a pill, causing you to take the morning after pill, then you should use a back up method of birth control for the next seven days. If you didn't forget a pill or take a pill late, then I'm not sure why you took the morning after pill, but the birth control pill will still be effective even though you took the morning after pill. The morning after pill doesn't make the birth control pill less effective.


Examples of contraceptives?

Condoms, IUDs, birth control pills, depot birth control medications (e.g. monthly, or quarterly), morning-after pill methods, contraceptive sponge, cervical cap, sterilization ... and the least effective method of contraception - the "rhythm method".
