Birth Control Pill and Pregnancy
The birth control pill has become one of the most popular methods of birth control in North America. Many women taking the pill worry about how it can affect their chances of getting pregnant later on.
The pill is 99.9% effective, if taken perfectly and there are numerous types of birth control pills available on the market today.
Some women do become pregnant while on the pill. Causes for this could include taking the pill with certain medications, missing a pill, taking the pill at different times of the day and starting the pill late.
There is no evidence to show that the pill will harm your baby in any way or affect your fertility; in fact more than 90% of pill-users become pregnant within a year of coming off the pill.
It’s recommended though that you wait a little while before trying to pregnant to allow your body to get back in sync again.
