On birth control several months at a time

I know there is a 1% chance of getting pregnant on the pill. Say a woman takes the pill 4 months consecutively, can the woman get pregnant any time during those 4 months, or just at a specific time during the 4 months?

Answer #1

There’s no time while on the pill where it’s more likely to get pregnant unless you take it wrong. And there’s not a ten percent chance of getting pregnant on the pill. It’s lower than condoms.

Answer #2

You’re always running a risk of getting pregnant. There’s like a 10% chance or something getting pregnant on the pill. NOTHING is 100% certain. But of course you know that. And I think that the woman could get pregnant at anytime.
