Can birth control ever stop working i you take it every day without forgetting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Failure rates: The BCP has a listed failure rate of around 5% per year of use.This data likely includes some who forget a dose,skip a dose or take something that interferes with the hormones. IUD's are listed as less than 1%.All forms of birth control other than abstinence will occasionally fail.
