Not likely pregnant: If you were compliant with taking the pills and had sex when you did, pregnancy is unlikely. That is the point of birth control pills. Not that it is 100% effective, all the time but it works well if you take it every day as scheduled. Yes, it will also decrease the amount and duration of bleeding.
