it happened to a friend of mine too. the odds are calculated not by the the amount of people but by the amount of times you have sex. so, 3 in 10,000 instances of banging, not 3 in 10,000 people using that method of birth control. unfortunately, people never really find that out until it's too late.

The same thing happened to good friends of mine in their junior year of high school. They went ahead and had their son, and got married two years later when they were out of school and had solid jobs. It's working out pretty well, but they've had to grow up much much faster than most people their age. Their son also has mild cerebral palsy, so there's a whole different set of issues surrounding that.

This would actually be a legitimate concern for me if I weren't 100% sure I'm not. I do want to have a kid eventually.

It's actually 3 in 1,000. 3 in 1,000 women taking the pill will get pregnant in 1 year if they take the pill perfectly. Taking it perfectly means the same time each day, never missing a day, and not taking any conflicting medications.
