A member asked:

I have pcos and i take the pill for bc. im having pregnancy symptoms. could i be pregnant? my doc told me i dont ovulate often but possibly could.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pill/pregnancy: The pill is about 98% effective in preventing ovulation. that gives you a 2% chance of possibly ovulating and getting pregnant while on the pill. Is more likely if you're taking anabiotic's or something that may interfere with the absorption of the BCP.
