A member asked:
Just curious, can you be pregnant & still bleed while taking the placebo pills on your bcp?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: If you think you are pregnant, take a pregnancy test. Bleeding related to implantation can be confused with a period.

No: You are still covered for getting pregnant by the pills even during this time. The pills are designed that way. Don't worry.
