A member asked:
What happens if you take birth control while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably nothing: The pill contains estrogen and progesterone, both of which are normally produced in higher levels when you are pregnant. You should not take ocp's when prengant - but if you do it is not likely to be harmful.
