1/100/year: The risk of pregnancy of oral contraceptives is 1 per 100 woman years if taken properly. That means if 100 women take the pill correctly for a year, 1 will become pregnant. Using an additional method such as condoms, diaphragm, sponge or foam reduces it to even lower levels. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
