A member asked:
Can you have some form of period and be pregnant? the lighter period occurred 3 days later than expected. missed pill twice/sex during ovulation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Light bleeding is not uncommon in early pregnancy. Check a pregnancy test to be sure at least 3 weeks after exposure. Ovulation does not occur at midcycle if the pills are taken correctly. Missing pills can allow ovulation to occur but it is variable as to when that might happen.
