This happened to my cousin, she didn't know she was pregnant till she was in hospital. She was on the pill so wasn't getting periods anyway and didn't show. She went to the hospital for stomach pain and came home with a healthy baby.
@@jannalam6861 if you didn't know you were pregnant than you would probably assume that it was gas and not that you were severely months pregnant and that those were baby kicks.
I feel like this should be vocalized more bc so many people at my grown age believe that just because they use a contraceptive that they 100% cannot get pregnant. As far as I know, there is no contraceptive thats 100% effective so any time you decide to have sex there is a risk of pregnancy. Whether it be 1%, or 10%, it is still a risk and one to be conscious of.
Well, there is one (not abstinence), and it's a hysterectomy or a double orchidectomy. Total tube removals are supposed to be 100%, but there is some impossibly rare cases of it happening, so it isn't.
@AccidentallyOnPurpose literally csme to say this. But i don't think hysterectomy is dive a sny form of 'permanent birth control' think that's more considered tubal ligation. It's still 100% effective against pregnancy but don't think any dr would do it at any age unless there were OTHER mefical necessities.
@@yukiochan1 I'm confused on what you are trying to say. Tubal ligation is not permanent birth control, it is reversible and has a failure rate like any other method. It is one of the most effective least invasive (outside of removing tissue) birth control there is, but 1 in 100-200 people will get pregnant after tubal ligation. It also increases your chances of having a nonviable ectopic pregnancy. Not knocking tubal ligation because it really is effective and a good option, but it is not 100%.
@AccidentallyOnPurpose it is considered 'permanent' in the same way vasectomy are. Alsob it really depends on the type. Not sure what's regularly used today but at one point it was just clamped, like a bad of chips. The clamp could move/ come off leading to higher rates if failure. They then started tieing, cutting and cortorising. Like you said, that method is still not 100 percent fool proof and stands a chance at reversal if desired, tubals and vasectomy have a much higher success rate than others. And though you can try for reversal in both, that comes with complications and isn't a quarenteed success for future, naturally conceived pregnancy. Ivf could of course still be an option because you can still make eggs and have a uterus bit even if you reversed it the scar tissue coyote block the natural process. That's why it's viewed as 'permanent' with such a low rate of failure and not a particularly high rate of successful reversals once they moved to cutting and burning, drs tell you not to consider it other than permanent. It's not like the pill where you just stop takingb it and things go back to normal. Like you said only 100%, absolutely fool proof way is removal of the uterus or both ovaries in woman or completely removing the testes in men.
@@AccidentallyOnPurposepeople have actually gotten pregnant without the pregnancy ever being inside of the uterus, but it's incredibly rare. I think the most well known case involved a stab wound and some funky anatomy? But yeah a fetus can attach to the outside of the intestines or really any organ, it's just usually when this happens it's aborted and not really talked about. Still incredibly rare, just not 100% chance of no pregnancy.
Ohhh, how I wish you were around 24 years ago when I started having my babies! ❤😊 The honest, gentle, caring bedside manner that you show here is truly amazing. Your patients and L & D teams are truly blessed to have you! Thank you for showing us all what we should be looking for in a doctor!
I had a friend that got pregnant with an IUD. They just watched and waited, because they were afraid if they tried to take it out it would end the pregnancy. In the end, he was fine. But it was really scary.
I had 3 boys 2 of them i was on bc. I did get nauseous and stopped taking them. I had a back injury went to a dr. He came in and said surgery is going to have to wait kiddo. You're about 7 months along.
My mom got pregnant on the pill, the shot, condoms, and a (unbeknown) reversed vasectomy. They ended up having 5 kids while using different birth control for each.
Abstinence is truly the only 100% effective birth control, and I do realize it’s not a choice everyone wants/should make. My mom got pregnant while still breastfeeding. I managed to get pregnant while on the pill and breastfeeding. My niece got pregnant on the depo shot. My sister-in-law got pregnant after having her tubes tied. A good friend of mine got pregnant with the Mirena IUD in place.
Abstinence is not super effective, actually. 1. Any method that is difficult to use effectively has a higher failure rate. 2. 'splash' pregnancies are a thing. 3. Sexual assault is a thing. 4. People not understanding their biology because of lack of access to accurate sexual health education is a thing.
I likenyour videos, you cone across as a normal,responsible and easy to understand ,caring physician, I say this bc of my past history and snooty Female physicians. I woukd use you as my doctor.
Anyone taking birth control pills (or other types of hormonal birth control): pleeeeease check the supplemental info to see what the weight limits are for efficacy. Inform yourself, ask questions...the more you know/understand the more likely you are to use it correctly and limit/largely remove your risk of pregnancy. ❤
Girl, I got pregnant on the depo and we used a condom one time... 21yrs later my daughter is on the depo... and I tell her to make sure she has pregnancy tests on hand just in case. Lol
Congratulations! With a copper IUD it works by making the uterus toxic to sperm- and potentially fatal to a baby. That's probably why he was so concerned! My friend had a hormonal IUD and didn't discover her pregnancy till the 2nd trimester. Her baby girl came out holding the IUD like a trophy 😂 I nope you have a smooth pregnancy and easy delivery! ❤
Can you speak about harmful pill side effects? My bloodwork indicated I was deficient in 5 vitamins even though I eat tons of fruits/veggies/grains/meats and nuts. Organic and balanced. My doctor gaslighted me when I question if it might be due to the pill. I also had insomnia. Upon going off them, my blood work shows my vitamins are back to healthy levels and I sleep like a baby now
You should check out the books Beyond the Pill and The Period Repair Manual! They discuss this and how to get healthy after use and stay healthy while on hormonal BC.
Every medication has potential side effects. Quite possible your vitamin deficiency isn't directly caused by the pill. I'd guess you have an unknown condition that the pill exaggerated.
I've never heard of that being a side effect, and it seems quite unlikely, but who knows. Reminder though, eating organic food does not protect you from vitamin deficiency. Only eating the *right* foods will do that. It really depends which vitamins you were deficient in, and whether you were truly eating enough of those specific foods (organic or not) to get the recommended amount. Some vitamins are not even purely from food, like vitamin D.
With first kid I was on the pill and only with my bf (now hubby) for 5 months but we have been together for 6 years now married 4.5 years and have add 2 more kids to the mix
I took the pill until 6 weeks along with our first baby. I took an antibiotic with the pill, which lowered the effectiveness. He's always been healthy, now grown.
I got pregnant on birth control, progesterone-only pill to be more specific. Taking a pill 3 hours late once, you can risk getting pregnant. I missed mine by 5 hours and now I'm 21 weeks along. Wouldn't change a thing, but yeah progesterone-only pills have a tiny margin for error
What about the implant? I used it as teenager, took it out once I got with my husband. Two pregnancies later being unsuccessful, I decided to just be on birth control again to avoid more grief. When I was a teenager it was implanted intramuscular now it’s subcutaneous.
Can you tell us a little more about long yerm research about behavioral problems and autism spectrum. I often wonder if heightened use of birth control correlate to these issues in kids today. I feel that a fetus on months of birth control has to impact its development somehow
abstinence is absolutely not a 100% effective way to not get pregnant. saying that ignores non consensual interactions causing pregnancy. the only way to never get pregnant is to not have a uterus

Didnt she get big? Was it her first?
@@jannalam6861 she didn't really get much of a tummy and thought that the weight she'd just put on a little weight. It was her first baby.
@orangejuice5435 Im always shocked when I hear these stories lol. I was pretty small too with my first, but I could still feel the kicks later on.
@@jannalam6861 if you didn't know you were pregnant than you would probably assume that it was gas and not that you were severely months pregnant and that those were baby kicks.
@orangejuice5435 I guess. But they're very different. She could have also had an anterior placenta, which makes it even harder to feel the kicks.
I feel like this should be vocalized more bc so many people at my grown age believe that just because they use a contraceptive that they 100% cannot get pregnant.

Hmmm
I got pregnant on the iud. The iud was removed at the next appt. She is a beautiful 19 year old now

Wow. Y'all are some fertile women. I hope everyone was able to work things out and are happy in life.
@@smapa1185 Aw thanks! We are all super happy with our surprise babies.
That’s crazy, I hope y’all are doing great though
i’m the product of a tube tie !!!

My mom got pregnant with my sister and i one on the pill one on the sponge. We're adults and she still talks about it today. 😂
I got fixed after my 4th child best thing I ever did and my insurance coved it completely
Could you many make a video about the risks of going off birth control? Not enough doctors explain it to the patients.
I likenyour videos, you cone across as a normal,responsible and easy to understand ,caring physician, I say this bc of my past history and snooty Female physicians. I woukd use you as my doctor.
This doctor looks too young to be a doctor and with this specialty?!! We salute your hard work ethic. I would feel safe knowing you were my gyno
She’s actually in her 30s and a mother herself, but she looks like she’s in her 20s
You're wonderful! Education and more education!!!!

Congratulations mama! I know it's a suprise, but I pray you have a smooth and easy delivery! It goes by so fast ❤
I loved this
I love your videos, I would love to know where you got your necklaces from?

what about an arm implant, like Nexplanon?
Not a big deal.
What about the arm implant?
Can I ask why you're not mentioning the implant?
How can I get pregnant my doctor told me that I may have endometriosis and I was to big smh 😢
I had a friend who got pregnant on the pill and had a miscarriage at 10 weeks :(
The pill is 99% effective when used as directed. If we can go to college, we can figure out how to use bc AS DIRECTED.
My mum got pregnant on IUD after my dad had a vascemtomy! What are the odds
What about the implant?
I exist for that very reason 😂 thank goodness it failed BC, well I like being alive 😂😂
I just ovulated while on Nexplanon. Lol super scary.
I got pregnant while on the pill and my boyfriend used a condom! Didn’t know I was pregnant till I was 20ish weeks along!!!
I don’t understand. If it’s not unsafe for the baby, then why do you have to stop taking them as soon as you find out?
Better safe than sorry
Yes, I got pregnant on the pill.
Nuance.
abstinence still ain’t 100% foolproof cause grapists wooo..
yep!!! i got pregnant right after not being on the pill i’m very fertile!! ❤ and ladies know this not all birth control is effective even with iud…
Facts two kids later😂❤️ Birth control does not work condoms is the only thing that does the trick
abstinence is absolutely not a 100% effective way to not get pregnant. saying that ignores non consensual interactions causing pregnancy. the only way to never get pregnant is to not have a uterus
I've been raped. This comment is just nitpicky and unnecessary. People know what she means. My god.
The pill isn't, and neither is any other contraceptive, so use two.
If you take it the whole time and youre having a boy, how wouldnt that mess with uis hormones?
No. The pills hormones are basically pregnancy hormones.
Happened to me.
I took the pill AND used condoms and it still happened.
mf thought. no im not a mother currently lmfao
Prove it
Prove what?
