dear internet,
Do your chances of becoming pregnant while using the pill increase the more you have sex? I've been on the pill for 2 months and me and my boy friend have sex alot sometimes 2-3 times a day every day and now im having pregnancy symptoms. Could i be pregnant?

No method is 100%, but the pill mimics pregnancy; it's how it works. Talk to your doctor.
Talk to you doctor or take a test. As Alex mentioned, no method other than abstinence is completely effective.
I mean, if the pill was ineffective at any point, for example if you took it later or earlier in the day than you usually do on any of the active days or missed a day all together, and an egg were released, then yes increasing the number of times you had sex would raise the likelihood of pregnancy, just as it would if you weren't on the pill.
No offense, because I don't know you or your situation, but if you understood how hormonal contraception works, you would have been able to reason that out by yourself. You really should have some basic understanding of this medication that changes your body chemistry and controls such a big aspect of your life. In other words, my friend, google that shit.
Also, the pill doesn't start being completely effective until the third month or so. Before that the instructions usually say to use an alternate form of contraception as well.
If you're using it correctly, the chances of getting pregnant are the same each time you have sex - i.e. small, but it's possible. The number of times you have sex wouldn't make a difference, unless you aren't using it correctly. I'd get tested, though, for peace of mind if nothing else.
