A member asked:

I had nausea two days ago and i felt nausea again today.i felt like throwing up..im 18 yrs old nd on birthcontrol .could i get pregnant while on pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The risk of getting pregnant on the pill is at least 1/200. That varies depending on the type of "pill" as well as whether it is being used perfectly. Failure to take exactly as instructed increases chances of pregnancy.
