A member asked:
Is cervical mucus a reliable way to check for pregnancy on birth control? does birth control make your discharge scarce and sticky or will it be like egg whites if you are pregnant on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A home urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result by 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a regular withdrawal period.
