Not likely: Bith control medications are good but not 100% with perfect use the failure tate is estimated at 0.3%. With typical use the failure rate exceeds 9% i suggest you normally use condoms as well. If your period comes on time you are home free.

I'm 25 and using the birth control orthro-tri-cyclen low, because i'm not seeing my period. I want to have a baby. Do you think if we have sex everyday i can get pregnant? I know people can get pregnant without a period.
