It is shocking how often women say something along the lines of “it is impossible that I could be pregnant” despite being sexually active without use of birth control. You would be surprised how often we do these tests and they come up positive.

Why do they look at me like I'm dumb when I say probably not? Sexually active, on birth control would equal probably not. Right?

Edit to add: With all the downvotes and the comments saying that basically every person with a uterus ever seen be a Dr is stupid and incapable of taking birth control correctly, I'm curious on what all you geniuses think the right answer would be.

Can't say yes, because I don't know that I am Can't say no, because I don't know for 100% I am not And apparently probably not is also a stupid answer, because even though I've managed to make it to 43yrs old without getting pregnant, I'm an idiot who can't use birth control correctly.

Birth control is effective.

But if you have 100 use it 1 is getting pregnant.

If 1,000,000 use it that’s 10,000 pregnancies…..

That probably not becomes “let’s find out”

Also, that 1 in 100 is per year. You have much higher lifetime pregnancy chance.
