Typically the only ways that that you can get pregnant if you are on birth control:
-If you aren't taking the BC at the same time/regularly every day.
-If you switch from different forms of birth control (ie: depo prevera(sp?) and birth control pills)
-If you are on antibiotics and birth control. Some antibiotics/medications interfere with birth control pills so make sure that you talk to your doctor when going on new meds.
On shows such as "I didn't know I was pregnant," it does show different circumstances that women have become pregnant and not even know it... (such as still having a period and no weight gain). This is REALLY RARE though.
