I've heard several stories firsthand of women getting pregnant while on the pill, even when taking it consistently as directed. How is this possible considering the 99.9% effective rate? Are these girls just lying?

Probably. They're missing dosages.

(Never heard this myself)

Yeah, I have not heard of this happening either.

Are they taking antibiotics?

I know quite a few woman who have pill fail babies.


It fails if:


you vomit or you have diarrhea


Even if taken exactly as prescribed and the taker doesn't have a virus or an eating disorder, there is still a 2% Fail Rate.

Abortion clinics are full of Failed Pill Users.


If a woman say, has too much to drink and vomits at the end of the night, her pill will fail.


They don't make enough of a Warning of this. I certainly never knew about it until I was too old for it to matter. It's Education as always - busy doctors throw a script across and that's that.

Haha no periods are what you pray for when you accidentally skip or spew or poo the pill


Suggest so many people are getting pregnant on the pill because not enough condoms are worn.

Oh, I've heard it more times than I can count, and I call [bleep]. It's called user error or lying about it because to be honest is to basically admit they used poor judgment.

This is an observation, and not far off, but the vast majority of people I know who claim failed birth control, are part of underprivileged and disadvantaged demographics.

I've never experienced failed birth control, and I've had implant-based birth control, taken pills and both IUDs. Since I suck at taking pills at the same time everyday, I chose a more reliable option. That's exercising sound judgment.
