A member asked:

I stopped bc and breakthrough bled for 6 days until yesterday. i was supposed to get my period today..didn't get it. could i be pregnant? plz expln.

Possible: Once you stop birth control pills your periods may be quite different - both in timing and in character. If you don't want to be pregnant, talk with your doctor about another birth control method. If you do want to be pregnant, keep trying: it may take a few months for some people.
