Question : What are the odds of a girl being pregnant if she has been on birth control for the past 5 years while taking it correctly and me using condoms?

Brief Answer:
Almost zero chances of pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If the girl is using the birth control pill regularly without missing even a single pill and you have also used a condom along with it then the chances of conception are less than 0.5%. This is practically zero chances of pregnancy.
No need to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
