A member asked:
Been on the birth control pill for 4-5 years now. always take the pill everyday on time. combined that with pull out method and got withdrawal bleed as normal at right time during placebo week. is the withdrawal bleed evidence of not being pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Birth control pills, when taken each day at about the same time, are still working to prevent pregnancy, regardless of whether the withdrawal bleeding is lighter than expected, heavier than expected, or intentionally prevented. However, if the withdrawal bleeding is unintentionally missing, one can check a home urine pregnancy test.
