A member asked:

I've taken my bcp every night for 15 years. if i have sex during my fertile week & ovulation day could i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UNLIKELY: The BCP works by providing hormones that prevent ovulation (egg release).If you take them correctly you have no "ovulation day", if you miss one or more or delay taking it too long you might ovulate at any point in your cycle.Correct use drops pregnancy risk to below 1%, if concerned you could use a backup like foam or a condom.
