A member asked:

What is the probability you will miscarry if you get pregnant while on the pill?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Same as if not on it: Pills are not known to increase pregnancy loss rate. All who get pregnant have a ~30% chance of miscarriage regardless of whether you were on the pill or not.
