Birth control pill?

How many of you got pregnant from missing pills or stopping the pill? And how soon after stopping the pill?

The daddy of my son was told by like 3 doctors he would never have kids so sometimes I would miss a pill here or there (I kept taking them to control my period and ache) but now I'm 34 weeks pregnant :D

My husband and I decided to start trying this past Aug 2014 and I came off my pill. I had my last period Sept 3rd and confirmed pregnancy in Oct. I knew I was pregnant before I took the test.

Do you remember what pill you missed in your pack? I've been on bc for 7 months now and I forgot to take pill #21 yesterday morning. I had unprotected sex with my husband last night. I didn't realize I forgot it until I took my first sugar pill this morning. I can't believe I did that!! I usually always take my pill at 9:45am every day. Occasionally, I might take it 15 minutes to a half hour late, but usually right on time. What are the chances I could be pregnant?

I was on birth control for 5 years stopped taking them due to insurance change and got pregnant with my son 1 month later. I took my meds again 4 years and we stopped taking them to get pregnant. Only took 2 weeks and only 3-4 tries. Your very fertile after taking pills

I missed pills a lot and went like you and skipped 3/4 pills. Still didn't get pregnant.  Your body might be having your period late because you threw it off not taking the pills

I got pregnant while on birth control... It's not always 100% effective, nothing is 100% effective except abstinence but I know that could be hard sometimes.

My husband and I had unprotected sex quite a few times before birth control there was only one pregnancy scare. But after I quit taking them within three weeks I was telling him I thought I was pregnant. Low and behold, I was :) now 9w3d

So would you guys think that stopping the pill makes it more likely to get pregnant?

No keep taking them until you miss a period. I took them up until I found out I was pregnant. I took them regularly so idk how this miracle baby happened lol

And continuing the pills didn't affect it right? I'm waiting for my period to come this week but missed 4 of my active pills..
