Periods & Pregnancy

[Arterion]

Ok, so if you have your period does that mean theres NO chance whatsoever that you're pregnant? And what are the effects of taking birth control pills if you ARE pregnant?

[demonbuttercup]

for the most part yeah
especially if its coming during the week its supposed to on your pill pack.
what would make you think you were pregnant?
this was the only thing i could find on your other question

"the only reason doctors tell you to discontinue birth control while pregnant is because it affects your breast milk for the baby once it's born. "
i knew one guy who had a huge birth mark on his face and he said it was from where his mom took her BC pills because she didn't know she was pregnant. could be true, could be just a coincidence. i dunno.
if you are unsure its best to just get a test.

Many times we have discussed the anomalies of the teen reproductive cycle. Generally, your period indicates you are not pregnant. Women have had one or two periods (usually light) after becoming pregnant. This is more prevalent in younger women who have not yet gotten their hormones back into balance after puberty. It takes several years for many. It was six years until my period became completely regular.

There is never no chance whatsoever, as you put, with a sexually active woman. There are roughly 3 billion women on earth right now. 1 billion of them are sexually active. That is an awful lot for a statistician to handle and sex is always a gamble. We can increase the risk or decrease the risk. We still sweat out each month.
