A member asked:

If on birth control, and it's the last few days of menstruation, what is the likelihood of pregnancy?

Dr. Michael Sparacino answered

Pregnant?: Obtain a home pregnancy test. They turn positive at about the time your next expected period would begin. If negative, repeat in one week.
