While the purpose for most formulations of 'the pill' is to prevent ovulation, some forms of the pill do not prevent the egg from being released.
The low-dose progesterone-only MiniPill is an example of this, it doesn't necessarily prevent ovulation but prevents the uterine linig from 'accepting' the egg so that implantation doesn't occur as well as causing the cervical mucus to thicken decreasing the ability of sperm to penetrate this barrier. This type of pill may not be as effective as the Progesterone-Estrogen combo pills.
Over a year's time, 5-8 out of 100 typical couples using the Pill will experience an accidental pregnancy. The pill is an effective method of Birth Control but even missing 1 day increases the chances of becoming pregnant.
So, in short, if you are on the pill, it isn't likely that you are ovulating, and even if you do ovulate, it should prevent the egg from being implanting into the uterine lining, as well as decreasing the ability of sperm to reach the egg and fertilize it.
