Has anyone found out they were pregnant while still on birth control pills? I've heard of this happening, when someone forgets a pill, or whatever else happens. I'm just wondering as to any possible health risks to the baby if you continue to take your pills through your cycle because you don't know any better?

It can happen if you're taking antibiotics with the pill as well. All I know is that you should stop taking the pill immediately if you think you are pregnant.

I think that is also a thing that should be considered when taking those birth control pills. One must know the don'ts that lie ahead for proper precaution otherwise, those controls might not be very useful at all.

Definately taking birth control while you are pregnanct can cause problems. As some women stil bleed during their pregnancies as well, this can be very tricky to catch and women should pay close attention to any other changes in their bidies and take a pregnancy test as precautions if they feel any changes.
