What are the chances of someone getting pregnant during the first 30 days of taking "the pill"?
Posted on April 4th, 2010 by admin
I have a friend who is worried that she is pregnant because she had sex with her boyfriend and the condom broke before he came inside her! She is freaking out! She is getting information from others saying that she should calm down, that there is no way that she is pregnant, but I want to know for sure. She has been taking her birth control for less than 30 days. ((add links if you find articles on it, or know of any please))
If you look on your birth control pill fact sheet, almost all of them say that the first two weeks (one for the patch, two for mini-pills) should be accompanied by another form of birth control as well. This is more important if you start birth control during the middle of your cycle, as you could ovulate before the birth control has time to regulate your system. Have her look at the fact sheet that comes with the birth control or look it up online.
If she’s been taking her birth control for more than 14 days or started it at the beginning of her last period, she should be fine.
BUT just because you are on birth control does not mean you can’t get pregnant. Birth control is not 100% effective, and it’s effectiveness goes down with the amount of body fat you have above the "IDEAL" range. How you actually take your birth control pill and any medications or supplements you take also affect it’s effectiveness.
The only type of birth control that would be unaffected by things such as body weight or medications would be an IUD.
