Can you get pregnant on birth control?

Any mom’s get pregnant while on birth control? I am pregnant with #6 due in June. My first 5 kids, I got pregnant while on b.c… #1 was the pill, #2 depo shot, 3-5 was mirena. I haven’t used b.c. in 4 years and just got pregnant… I’m unsure what to do after this baby… we want more children in the future, so I don’t want to get my tube tied. Any advice? We don’t want to use condoms. :confused:

Well, there’s spermicide lol I did a quick Google search as other than that and the sponge I wasn’t sure what other options there were.

This has a list of them, info on each kind for men and women and a compare option. This is probably a decent resource to find one that works for you both.

I have had five and I got my tubes tied after my 5th

I was conceived on the pill. It’s not reliable.

Was the bc taken properly like on time and monitored the iud by feeling for the strings? Nothing seems to work and the only barrier method you don’t want to use and you don’t want to get fixed, I’d say jump up and down afterwards and pray

There’s other opinions
Ask your doctor and since it seems like BC doesn’t work well for your body maybe you just have to use condoms till your ready for another.

All of my kids i got pregnant while i was on b.c. mine because of my hormone levels being the way the are if your not wanting to get tubes tied i would suggest going and getting your hormones tested when picking your b.c. that way the dr can get you one that has a better chance of working! There are some that are better then others for women who get pregnant very easy

Nothing is 100% no matter what method you use, maybe your partner can opt for a vasectomy.

i have 6 kids myself 3 are under 3. after having my 6th i got a tubal even when i hated the idea but it is way easier and safest choice for me my body cant handle another pregnancy. my advice is research the tubal and talk to your ob may change your mind.

You’re best to talk to your doctor about this Hunni. Everyone is different on everything.

Nexplonon aka the bar in your arm good for 3yrs i have it nd love it never got pregnant and isnt pregnant till this day

Why can’t he do something?

Children are a blessing but expensive but I say more power to you on having as many as you want :heart: I had my last one when I was almost 42 it had been 14 yrs since I’d had one…from 28 to 41 I wasn’t on bc I guess I was lucky…lol.but I’ve never been on bc my whole life…I can’t have anymore bc of mother nature ( menopause) but I would love to have more but I’m 51 now…I love babies! I’m blessed with 4 boys 33,30,23,9​:heart:

For the people being rude if she wants the kids and takes good care of them its none of your business how many she has and to tell her to not spread her legs is just rude!!! As for the BC issue i would def discuss options with your dr since most dont seem to work for your body

If bc doesn’t work for you and you don’t want to use condoms, but don’t want more children right now… the only reasonable solutions is to not have sex 🤷

Spermicide and pull out, to ensure no precum/late pull out swimmers survive? Also, not liking condoms may have to be put aside, clearly bc isn’t your friend and condoms are pretty decent at their jobs

I just found out I’m pregnant again 4 months postpartum. I can’t take synthetic hormone birth control because I have really bad reactions to it. My husband and I never had sex without a condom, but here we are lol :slight_smile: Abstinence is the only way to prevent pregnancy after all xD

Just get tubes tied. Not clip and burn just tied. That way if u want more they can untie them

tubes tied or burnt… doesnt always work tubes tide but u can giv it a try

Condoms nowadays come super thin and doesn’t even feel like he has it on. Or maybe you guys can freeze his little swimmers and he can get a vasectomy!

Diaphragm would be the only real choice left I think

Not to be mean or nasty but if there nothing you can, or want, to use then just dont have sex, no accidents then.

The best birth control option for me was the Nexplanon implant… goes in your arm, and is good for 3 yrs, never had any problems or pregnancy scares. I’m currently 8 months along with my first my 1st baby.

Condoms do a pretty damn good job at keeping you from getting pregnant!

Then use condoms… :joy::woman_shrugging:t4:? Haha I’m sorry but if you’ve tried all you think you could, that’s probably the safest bet

My first I got pg while on depo and my second I got pg on Mirena.

Why doesn’t anyone want to use condoms now?! That’s a good chance you WON’T get pregnant. My gosh.

You’re a brave one to want more than 6 kids lol good lord. You could get your tubes tied then have them reverse it when you’re ready. Cause if birth control doesn’t work for you, & you don’t want to use condoms then I really don’t know what to suggest other than that. Lol

Try natural timing? I’ve known a lot of women this worked best for. One lady never wanted kids. She was around 40, married 20 years. They never had a scare!

I have always done the pull out method and condoms. And been fine so far. Also the OP has already said she wants more kids in the future but not right now. Why are so many people suggesting vasectomy or tube tying? Those are permanent birth control and their are risks trying to reverse them. They are also expensive to reverse at least tube tying is.

Well shit the pull out method

Dont listen to some others have as many as u want if u can afford it. The have stuff u can put up there before sex at Walmart that kills the sperm so I’d use that along with condoms. Talk to your doc as well I’m sure there’s an answer

Well, I guess you will have to. Having sex.

Ask to have just your Fallopian tubes taken out, it’s an easy procedure and won’t send you into early menopause!!!

Do they clamp tubes still? If so do that i heard it works well for 5 years

The 1st two kids was the pill. The 3rd was depo. I got my tubes tied after her.

Well then don’t have sex until you’re ready for more babies. It sucks birth control didn’t work for you. But congratulations on baby # 6.

That’s about it…lol

Natural family planning but you need to find a good dr who can really educate you and your spouse/partner on this… it can be done if you follow the methods and chart religiously… after a while it will be easier… and congrats on the baby!!!

By the sounds of it your outta options. Idk maybe try vaginal contraceptive films and pulling out. Maybe you in that 1% section where birth control doesnt work.

Js, so no offense but nobody has that many birth control “accidents” m’Kay? It’s 99% sure so having THAT many “one in a million” accidents, you are either lying, or something, like I said Js because it’s literally ONE In 5 billion for you to conceive 2-3 times with IUDs.

Damn. 6 kids. I can barely handle one.

I got pregnant all 4 times on different birth controls. Nexplanon, pill, Nuvaring and Skyla IUD

Wow so much ignorant comments … We have 8 natural children and can afford each and every single one without help from the Government or anyone else … It’s no one business how many kids someone should have unless it’s affecting your wallet or life … and no we don’t drive a bus … To the O. P natural family planning might be your best bet or the BC that goes into your arm … good luck

Mirena fell out, hence my second son, depo failed, hence my 3rd

I did on the depo and him using condoms(38 weeks)

I got pregnant well on The pill then again on the Depo. I had my tubes tied and still got pregnant. I had a miscarriage that time. So I know how you feel. I think you may have to use condoms. You must be very fertile.
