Quick ? Where/how does the pill fail when a woman is on BCP (or any) and gets pregnant? Let's say for argument purposes...that it's taken and used correctly to the dot. I read the how your pills work and that whole section to understand how the pill works and all it's supposed to do (all BC methods posted) but I'm still a little confused as to how it could fail and not do what intended to do when used correctly?

I am on BCP and don't trust it alone so I make my husband use condoms as back up. But why should there be that concern for women, for any BC? The body is probably too smart for BC sometimes. LOL Thanks in advance for your replies.

Have a super and safe Thanksgiving!
