Well, there IS a small chance of failure with any method of birth control, so it's possible. I know people who have gotten pregnant while on BCP, I know people who have gotten pregnant despite using condoms... while there is a pretty low risk of "failure," it is still there.

I work in a pharmacy and have had a couple people question that exact thing. I have seen about 3-4 people get pregnant on the patch in the past 4-5 months. Jen
