i question whether ladies on the pill didn't accidentally skip a few before getting pregnant because it is really effective.. 97-99% is way high... i could be wrong, tho.

I agree... or not necessarily skip, but take them at different times (morning one day, lunch time the next, etc.) It is important to take it at the same time every day, but that is very difficult for a lot of people.
Personally, the people I know who got pregnant *stopped* taking it before they got pregnant.
Yeah, there's always *a chance* but if you take the same time every day, it's a very slim chance.
My third child came while I was on the pill....she was a biiiig surprise. I did happen to take a antibiotic while on the pill, and didnt realize the effects of that . So be wise and watch what other med. you take while on the pill....some might have a reverse effect
Thanks for the #'s. Are these other #'s "ideals" or reality?
Most ppl I know don't always use lube with condoms, but using lube everytime, I didn't have one break EVER in over a year - so I would guess 10% is reality, not ideal.
As for the condoms, I have tought about this often: the "ideal" number should be 0%
but apparently microtears exist even with lubrication, otherwise condoms with Nonoxyl-9 should be more effective as should lambskin but, alas, they are not.
