A member asked:
I am on birth control, i have been for a while. i had unprotected sex this month and my period is very light and brown colored.normal?or am i pregnant

Birth control: Probably normal. Studies find that, used as recommended, oral contraception is 91 percent to 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. However, that still means there is a very small risk of pregnancy if the pill is taken perfectly. Condoms act as a back up and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. A pregnancy test can verify if your pregnant or not.
