A member asked:

Would i have any kind of bleeding during my 'period week' if pregnant on birth control pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: If you are pregnant, you would not have menstrual bleeding. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine,

Is it normal for a period on birth control to have average to moderate bleeding during the sugar pills? My period isnt scheduled to end until Sunday and today is Thursday. Its little heavy but nothing too concerning?
