Pregnant on the Pill? Common?

I was just wondering if anyone had gotten pregnant while on the pill...taking it consistantly. I've been on the Pill for many years...am consistant but for some reason I just feel different this month. I am so super bloated and I actually sent a pic to my doc and she freaked out. When I said I was bloated she thought I just had a little gas...but I look at least 12 weeks pregnant...and it's been this way for over a week. I don't know if it's been getting worse but I know that when my friend was pregnant, she grew in one day...she went shopping and by the end of the day, she couldn't even button her pants. Any personal experiences??

i am now 9 weeks along, and was on the pill RELIGIOUSLY, AND used condoms because i was so paranoid! (and apparently rightly so!) were so excited now, but that initial shock took some getting used to! i used to set an alarm every day to take the pills, never missed one, and the one night we didnt use a condom in addition to the pills (our wedding night), we got pregnant!

it can happen! and if you ask me, more often than just that "1%"

So how did you know you were pregnant or know to test? Did you completely miss a period? Or have the normal preggo symptoms? Or did you kind of have a period?

My DH and I concieved on the pill. I was a week late and my breasts were killing me. I then decided to take a test and it was neg.! I was almost 3 weeks late before I got a positive test and then ended up having a m/c. I really think it was because I was on the pill. However I have read that most of the time if you get pg on the pill the baby will be fine. Go ahead and test. It's better just to know. Either way I'd head into the doctors office to to be checked. Good Luck!
