Is it possible to get pregnant while taking birth control pills?
assistant
It is possible, but it is not recommended. Birth control pills are designed to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus so that sperm cannot enter the uterus. If you take birth control pills correctly and consistently, they can be 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. However, if you miss a pill or forget to take one, there is still a small chance of becoming pregnant.
