A member asked:
If you have a period while on birth control, is there any possibility of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you are sexually active there is ALWAYS a possibility of pregnancy! But if you are taking the pills as prescribed not taking any medicines to reduce the effectiveness of the pills (antibiotics) then the likelihood is low.
