Christine Fletcher is a 22-year-old woman who has had an incredible story to tell for four months: gave birth to triplets of those who got pregnant taking the birth control pill.
She and her partner already had a two-year-old son, named Osian, and decided that for the moment they were not going to have any more children. She started taking the birth control pill, every day at the same time, without missing any day, when one day, suddenly, it began to feel strange.
The first one also came with the pill
Her first pregnancy also came while taking the pill, but at that time she had some carelessness and when she became pregnant she said it was logical, for not having correctly followed the administration schedule. After the birth of his son, he was clear that if he wanted to avoid a new pregnancy he should do well, and he did not fail a single day.
However, one day he began to feel bad. Symptoms came to him that he already remembered, from the previous pregnancy, but he was very sure that he could not be pregnant, since he had taken the pills religiously, according to the instructions. In the end, because of discarding the obvious, a pregnancy test was done and the surprise that was carried was capitalized. I was pregnant.
But the surprises didn't end here, of course. The day they attended the first control, the first ultrasound, the professionals who carried it out stopped for a while on the screen. They looked at each other, and smiled as they showed their astonishment. Finally they were told to look at the screen and there they saw, dad and mom, that there were three babies. Eight months later Jorj, Isaac and Jac were born, who are Osian's three little brothers.
Now the surprised parents are in the care of their four children, delighted, of course, but with a lot of daily work and much ahead. The mother, meanwhile, has already said that she will never take birth control pills again and that From now on you will try other methods, such as the IUD.
Can it happen to me?
Surely you will now be thinking that "my mother, can it happen to me too?". And the answer is: It is unlikely, but not impossible.
Birth control pills are not 100% effective. There are times when there may be a forgetfulness, days when you take it at another time or days when, for whatever reason, you can vomit it, if you feel bad, for example. It may also happen that you are taking another medication, such as antibiotics or epilepsy medications, that decrease the effectiveness of contraceptives. So it is possible that some of these things happened to Christine Fletcher. In any case, if you want to avoid a new pregnancy, given the success you have had, I agree with her, better use another method.
