[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you on birth control?  If so, do you know how/why it failed?[/quote]

On the pill. Best guess is there was a break in daily medication when it ran out between orders. Won't make that mistake again. [/quote]

So you WEREN'T on birth control. You had been, and then you stopped taking it because you ran out, right? Not a judgement, but just clarifying - the pill didn't fail, you just didn't take it as prescribed. [/quote]

I hate to pile on, but it does bother me when people say their birth control failed when it didn't really fail. 
I had a college roommate who used to take a fistful of her pills at a time on Fridays and then cried dramatically about "why me? I did everything right, I was on birth control, why am I one of the unlucky ones" when she got pregnant and had an abortion. I sat there with my mouth shut, and over the years as she retold the story of her "birth control failure", and it really bothers me that it is severe misinformation on a very important topic.
