A member asked:
Is menstrual blood the same blood when you miss a birth control pill? as in the source of the blood itself. if not whats the difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Menstrual blood is the same whether you are on the pill or not, or miss a pill. The pill functions to prevent egg release. No egg=no chance of pregnancy. If you miss pills, an egg may be released and pregnancy may be possible if intercourse happens at the right time.
