Anybody else become pregnant while on bc?

I became pregnant with my son while on the pill, but I always assumed it was because a week before I conceived I had missed a pill. But this time around, I had the implanon in my arm that's supposed to last for 3 years and I only had it for a year at the time I conceived so its not like it was about to expire or anything. Don't get me wrong bf and I are thrilled its just a little earlier than planned. Lol.  Has anybody else had something similar happen.?

I was on a really low dose bc pill that made me get my period only 4 times a year. I always took it before bed. I woke up one night sick to my stomach and threw up. Without thinkong about it my hubby and I continued on as we usully do and sure enough about a month later I realized I was pregnant.

Yes, I had an IUD (Paraguard)! Hubby and I were shocked when we found out, but we are very excited to meet our son. We had planned on waiting another year or two until he graduates college to start trying... But the man upstairs had a different plan :)

I mean I know it's not 100% and with the pill I wasn't as surprised but I really am this time since it was in my arm... At least I know I'm not alone. Lol.

I was on nuvaring and when I was due to put it back in I still hadn't gotten my period, so I made a doctors appointment and sure enough I was pregnant. I am currently 12 weeks and 3 days. :)
