A Dumb Question

Whenever I go to the doctor, they ask me if there's any chance I could be pregnant. Now, as I do not have sex with men, I find it pretty easy to answer this question.
But I've never understood how straight, sexually active women in the second half of their cycle are supposed to answer that question. Because even if they're using birth control, it's only 99% effective, so there's always a chance they could be pregnant, but they haven't missed a period yet so they wouldn't really know. Is this just code for, "have you missed a period?"
Just curious.
