A member asked:

Miss 3 bc pills had breakthrough bleeding had period for maybe 1-2 days is this a sign of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe not, but...: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred).
