If my husband has a low sperm count and I'm on birth control--could I possibly be pregnant?

I'd have to say that it is unlikely that you're pregnant, but anything is possible. A missed period isn't an uncommon occurrence. I would still suggest getting a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side.

First, you should see your doctor about any problems you have while you are on birth control. Though the chances for you are very slim, to quote Jurassic Park, "Life, finds a way. " It is probably just an irregular period but depending on what you used you might possibly be pregnant.

It is possible; there is a small chance of pregnancy during use of the pill, and a small chance with a low sperm count. So, possible, but highly unlikely. Missing one period is common due to hormone fluctuations. If you miss a second one, see a doctor.

You definitely could be pregnant. No birth control is 100% effective except for abstinence. It only takes one sperm for pregnancy.
