A member asked:
If you take continuous birth control ( pack after pack) and then go off it for a week.. can u get pregnant that week? even if u don't get a period
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Continuous use of birth control pills for up to 12 weeks followed by a 1 week break makes it very unlikely you will get pregnant so long as you take each pill every day at the same time of day. But if you do not have a menses, you should check with your physician to be sure there is nothing wrong. Also, though the pregnancy rate on bcp is theoritically.
