A member asked:

Can your body get use to birth control pills, making them stop working ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BCPs: It is rare for BCPs too cause intolerance and fail to work. IT is accurate most of the time to 98-99% for pregnancy prevention and regular periods. Using a condom if sexually active increases pregnancy prevention as well.
