Is it possible to get pregnant on bc pills and still get a period? i just got a full on 5 day long period, not just "bleeding" like some women get

No: It's not possible to be pregnant and have your period. Sounds like you have some concerns though -- I'd schedule an appointment with your gynecologist to discuss how to time your period, discuss contraceptive methods/efficacy and whatever else might be going on. Hope that helps & good luck!

Yes can get period: I am sort of confused regard the question. But normally when on Birth Control pills, ovulation (egg release) is prevented from happening. But the lining of the uterus can still grow and shed causing a bleed (menstruation). You will not get pregnant (no egg) but you will still have menstrual bleeds. Depo (Shots) can stop both ovulation (egg release) and menstruation (periods).
