What are the chances of getting pregnant if a condom and birth control are both used properly while having sex? I'm not talking about perfect use, but typical use. I already know the chances are slim, but for those who know the typical use statistics, could you please give me an idea of what kind of chance I am taking?
laurabell answered Wednesday March 17 2010, 11:36 pm: That's funny... I was talking about that yesterday with a couple friends. I dont know actual stats, but I know plenty of "birth control-condom babies." Both of mine were "emergency contraception babies" (meaning I took EC and it failed. It's supposed to be 99% effective if taken within 72 hours, and I took it 7 hours later and still got preg!). I am also close friends with someone who recently got pregnant even though she had an IUD, which is supposed to be as effective as sterilization (the packet the doctor gave me said so).
I know this isnt what you want to hear, but my point is that there are definitely no gaurantees and it doesnt matter what the stats are.... all it takes is one time of it not working right...
Oh, and the stats the other person gave you are with perfect use. With typical use, I think each is about in the 60th percents or so. Not taking birth control pills correctly actually increases your chances of getting pregnant, so read the packet of info that comes with it, and be sure to take it perfectly, for your best chance.

xcgirl21 answered Wednesday March 17 2010, 11:28 pm: If you want statistics, condoms are actually only 75% effective, and birth control is 99% effective. The chances of you getting pregnant while using BOTH are very, VERY slim. Although, no matter the circumstances, there is always a risk. Hope I helped!

candi4545 answered Wednesday March 17 2010, 10:01 pm: the chances of getting pregnant when using condoms are that condoms are 98% effective against pregnancy
the chances of getting prgnant when using birth control are that birthcontrol are 99.9% effective
so if ur using both u prolly wont get pregnant
pregnancy isnt the only thing you need to worry about make sure your using condoms against std's
but if your with a guy you trust then ul prolly be fine
if your using both your chances of getting pregnant are literally like 99.998% effective thats like none [ candi4545's advice column | Ask candi4545 A Question ]
