Patient's question:
Because of recent training, my husband and I don't want to have children. However, when we have sex, he doesn't want to wear a condom. So, I had to take birth control pills. But I heard that taking birth control pills still carries a chance of getting pregnant. Is that true? What is the chance of getting pregnant while taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
No form of contraception is 100% safe. Even when taking birth control pills, there is still a possibility of accidental pregnancy, although the chance is small. However, it is essential to take them correctly. Besides, if you have lower back issues, you can take short-term birth control pills, but you should absolutely not take emergency contraception pills. This can cause significant harm to women's health, leading to irregular periods and affecting future sexual life.
