If i have normal periods on birth control pills that last 5 days and always start on the same day on time, end on the same day, could i be pregnant?

It would be: unlikely if you were pregnant from any sexual activity that occurred before your last episode of menstrual bleeding (assuming that was a menstrual period). However, if you become late for a period - consider a home pregnancy test.
