A member asked:
Can i get pregnant while on my sugar pill i'm currently using levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Birth control pills work by preventing ovulation and the 'sugar' pills are just part of the regimen to regulate hormones. One can get pregnant on birth control pills but it the statistical success of prevention is about 99%. If you miss a period then get a pregnancy test. Otherwise don't worry about it!
