HI, this is probably a stupid question, but I've been wondering for a bit what would happen if you became pregnant while on the pill, but didn't know, what would happen to the baby? I know it is VERY rare to become pregnant while on the pill (if taken properly), and I'm not worried about this happening to me, I just was curious. Whould there be a miscarriage, birth defects..if you took the pill while pregnant? Thanks

Hi pigglet_net, welcome!

A woman should immediately stop taking her pills if she finds that she is pregnant. However, there is no evidence that oral contraceptives will harm the baby. Does this help?

Thanks for stopping by.
