A member asked:
How might one get pregnant on the pill? what is the science behind it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Med or user failure: It is either a medication failure which is less than one tenth of one percent when used properly, or a user failure to use properly on a everyday schedule. The combination of hormones in the pill are designed to suppress the pituitary gland daily and thus no egg for fertilization.
