I have known 2 girls who actually became pregnant while on the depo shot which I totally thought was impossible since you have like no type of period at all.

I'm no science major or anything, but from everything I've ever read and heard from reliable sources (teachers, doctors, professors, etc), NO method of birth control is 100% effective, except complete abstinence (and even then I wonder, which I'll get into in a sec). And last I read, depo provera is only 99.7% effective, so thinking of how many people are having sex and how often, that 0.3% is pretty damn big. Just my take on it.
Now my questions for this esteemed group of people:
1) A high school friend of mine had a sister who never had sex, but became pregnant. Doctors verified that she had never had sex after learning of the pregnancy. The story goes that she and her boyfriend had been fooling around after swimming, all she had on was a bikini whereas he had nothing on, he did not ejaculate, but, as is likely to happen, some pre-ejaculation must have gotten just a little to close, and she ended up having the immaculate conception.
How likely is this and does it really even sound that true (I never knew well enough to know for sure)?
2) Ortho Tri-Levlen is a b/c pill that's extremely similar to Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I was on this pill (first tri-cyclen, then tri-levlen) and went off of it recently (about a month ago). When I originally went on the pill, I gained weight, about 15 pounds and never really got it off. So now that I'm off the pill, how likely is it that I will lose weight, if at all? What's the average amount of weight lost, if any and how long does it take to make a difference? I'd really love to get some opinions on this.
