writes:Last weekend I had unprotected sex (no condom) with my girlfriend. She is on the pill, and I pulled out before I came, but the possibility of pregnancy is still a little worry. I was just wondering if anyone knows the odds of pregnancy if the girl is on the pill and you pull out? Should I worry at all?

They are from Wikipedia but I read it as percentage failure rate in the FIRST YEAR of use.
So pretty much the odds of it failing on you.
It's a percentage so it's not the number of failures a year so much as the amount of times it fails.
As I say, condoms and pill are best combined.
Good Luck!! xx

The contraceptive pill has a failure rate of 0.3% when you take it perfectly and 8% if she takes it wrong.
The Pulling out method has a failure rate of 27%.
She should be ok if she was taking the pill correctly and not missing any, but you should use this scare as a good reason to always use condoms.
Good Luck!! xx
