No, you won't get pregnant if you're on the pill and choose to have sex without condoms. Actually, pills are meant to avoid condoms in a way and still ensure you're on a contraceptive. However, any contraceptive is as much as 99% effective. Which means no matter what you use there's still a chance for exception... though that shouldn't really bother much. Exception doesn't happen with everyone, no point being stressed up pondering on something that has only 1% chance. Meanwhile, remember not to skip a pill as that's how most of the accidental pregnancies happen. Also, you might just have some cramps or spotting or some other classic symptoms of progesterone that's the pill setting in into your system don't get intimidated. If you follow the instruction on the packet probably chances are it'll be 100% effective.
