I'm not sure of the % but I know it can happen. If you're on the pill and miss some then yes there is a chance they may not work properly. I know a couple people have said that they've gotten pregnant while on the patch. So it can happen.

The pill is the most reliable form of birth control (other than not doing it at all of course) when it is taken correctly. 99 % I believe.

I have heard of women becoming pregnant while using it, but this is usually as a result of missing a pill or taking it late.
