Getting pregnant while taking the pill: Is it possible?

  1. Many women are often concerned about unwanted pregnancy. Even while using contraception or birth control. Every time it is a relief when they get their period. Because something can always go wrong. However? This article will discuss the chances of a pregnancy while the pill is being taken.

Reliability

  1. The reliability of the pill is expressed by the term "Pearl index". This is also referred to as the pregnancy rate. The name comes from the American biologist Raymond Pearl. The Pearl index shows the number of pregnancies in 100 women while on the contraceptive pill. This is measured over a year. The Pearl index without contraception is about 80 to 90 women. This means that women who do not use contraception have an 80% to 90% chance of becoming pregnant. But what is this chance in women who do use contraception? Theoretically, this probability is 0.5%. However, in practice this probability is 0.2% to 10%. 10% chance sounds a lot. What causes this opportunity?

Misuse of the Pill

  1. This high probability of 10% is caused by incorrect use of the pill. There are different kinds of misuse of the contraceptive pill.

Starting too late

  1. Women often make the mistake of starting the next comic too late. This can be one or two days late. If you accidentally start one day late, take two pills immediately (your forgotten pill plus that day's pill). If you have taken the pill several days late, keep in mind that you are unsafe to have sexual intercourse. So use extra contraception, and if necessary call your doctor for further instructions.

Forgot a pill

  1. Perhaps the most common mistake: Forgetting to take the pill for a day. It must have happened to every pill user. When you find out that you have forgotten the pill, take your forgotten pill immediately. Just take the rest of your pills in the normal way. Keep in mind that you have to use extra contraception. Check the package insert of your pill to see if this is the case.

Take the pill at a fixed time

  1. Preferably take the contraceptive pill at a fixed time. There should be no more than 36 hours between two pills. It can help if you put the pill strip in a fixed place, for example your bedside table. You can take a pill when you wake up or go to bed.

Interaction with other drugs

  1. Some medications can interact with the contraceptive pill. This is the case with many types of antibiotics. Always ask your doctor if this is the case and otherwise always read the package leaflet of the medicine.

Diarrhea or vomiting

  1. When you have diarrhea, the pill can be unsafe. Just swallow the pills. If this persists for more than one day, you must use extra contraception such as a condom during sex. If you vomit within 4 hours, take another pill (preferably from a different strip, otherwise you will get confused). If the vomiting lasts longer than 4 hours, you are unsafe and you must therefore use extra contraception. [! 168951 => 1130 = 5175!] Still a pregnancy?

Still a pregnancy?

  1. So it can happen that you get pregnant while taking the pill. However, it is statistically infrequent. Don't be afraid of getting pregnant when you use the pill correctly. If it does happen that you are overdue, see your doctor or take a pregnancy test. This way you have certainty and you do not have to be constantly anxious. If it turns out you are pregnant, there are several options you can choose from.
