Birth control : You are on birth control so the chance of getting pregnant is incredibly low. Birth control is very effective if you take it right. Take a pregnancy test at home if you need reassurance.

The pill: Most birth control pills are between 95% and 97% effective, which means even with perfect use there is a 3-5% chance of conceiving on the pill. Some medications like antibiotics can increase the chance your pill will fail.
