A member asked:
On combination bc pill, is it possible to have a heavy period during the inactive pills and still be pregnant? isnt the uterus lining shedding?

Heavy period rules out pregnancy when you are taking contraceptive.

You correctly understand the basic process and pregnancy in these circumstances is unlikely, but "heavy" is imprecise and subjective and stranger things have happened. If you have any reason to be concerned, home pregnancy tests are readily available and accurate.
