Can you get pregnant on the placebo pill week?

No: As long as you took your birth control pills correctly the rest of the month, you cannot get pregnant during the placebo week. Best wishes!

Correctly taken?: If a birth control pill is taken correctly, the likelihood of getting pregnant at any time is extremely low. On the flip side, if pregnancy does occur while on birth control pills, which does happen, it could have occurred during the placebo pill week.
