A member asked:
Does your period during the inactive pills of birth control indicate that you're not pregnant? real period (a heavy flow) not spotting
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basically yes: That is how birth control pills work. Anytime you think you are pregnant you can always take a home test. If you are not confident in your birth control pill consider methods like a Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud or nexplanon. These are great options for teenagers.
