Can u get pregnant on the pill?

I have just started taking the pill.  My gyno prescribed it because I had been on the depo and was having irregular periods.  I have only been taking it for about five days, and I was just wondering if I could get pregnant while on it? Because on the 11th I believe I started ovulating (this is the first time since I quit the depo) and I am wondering if the combination of the pill, and the provera the hospital put me on kind of shocked my body back into normalcy.  My partner and I want to have a child, and I am just wondering if it is likely that I could ovulate and get pregnant while on the pill since I haven't even been on it that long.

okay I had unprotected sex and that night I forgot to take the pill, then the next day I took it. Can I still get pregnant, and if so will taking the pill hurt the baby? I need a response asap. Im kinda worried about this.

If you're worried about the effectiveness of the pill, why don't you use a condom too??

The pill that contains estrogen is intended to prevent ovulation, in rare cases it won't work properly, but it's rare.  The pill that has progesterone is the one that thickens the uterine wall, preventing implantation.  There are pills that contain both estrogen and progesterone.  

It sounds like the one you have been on is the one that contains only progesterone.
