Could I be pregnant? - Birth Control Message Board

K007 · 01-07-2005, 07:15 PM

I had sex yesterday and I am on the pill, my first pack ever. The pack is almost finished. I have 2 days until my sugar pills start.

My question is, could I be pregnant and still get my period? Or would my period NOT come if I was pregnant during my sugar pills, and therefore know I'm pregnant, because my period didn't come during the sugar pills?

Hope this doesn't sound confusing!

Please help!!! I'm nervous!

Your period won't come if you are pregnant.

also, remember, the likelihood of getting pregnant while on the pill is super low. I always have to remind myself that, I often get a little paranoid, haha

Now I've heard that women can still get bleeding that is much like their period for the first couple of months of a pregnancy. It's not your period, but it's bleeding around the same time. You could even have implantation bleeding around the time your period should come.

You're probably not pregnant though so I wouldn't worry. As long as you've been taking your pills around the same time all month you're safe.

Okay good! Thanks for your help!
I know I still get paranoid even though I am on the pill, I'm just DONT want to get prenant!!

But now im a little worried, so when i do get my period during the sugar pills, you are saying that I COULD be pregnant, should I take a home pregnancy test to feel super safe? And how long should I wait until I can use a pregnany test? Also, any popular brand you reccomend?
