Does taking birth control pills cause pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Less than a year after getting married, I don't want to get pregnant, so I've been taking birth control pills. Will taking birth control pills make me pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Under long-term use of birth control pills, pregnancy is generally absolutely impossible, but birth control pills and breastfeeding are not 100% confirmed; there is still a possibility of pregnancy. This is because if a woman's endocrine system becomes disrupted again, and birth control pills contain artificial hormones, this situation may trigger childbirth. Long-term oral birth control pills have certain side effects, such as potentially causing endocrine disorders in women or menstrual irregularities. Therefore, it is recommended to use breastfeeding tools to implement breastfeeding, which is much safer.
