The pill is 99.9% effective. If you are taking it as prescribed, even with full intercourse you are protected. The birth control pill works by stopping sperm from joining with an egg (fertilization). The hormones in the pill stop ovulation. No ovulation means there's no egg hanging around for sperm to fertilize, so pregnancy can't happen.
