A member asked:

Does delayed of period while taking birth control pills meaning got pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not always.: But it can be pregnancy. Birth control pills are reliable when taken appropriately and not interact with some other medications that can affect their effectiveness. Home pregnancy test can be next step to clarify the situation.
