A member asked:

Can you get pregnant on the days of your sugar pills if you failed to take the pill same exact time everyday? pills were used for weight gain before.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A woman is protected on all the days of her cycle if she is using her birth control pills correctly (because her ovulation is prevented). However, life is not perfect, and a few women do get pregnant while using birth control pills.
