Yes but...: It's possible to get pregnant on the birth control pill, although it's unusual if you never miss a pill. Breakthrough bleeding does not increase your chance of getting pregnant.

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
