A member asked:

Will i still get my withdrawal bleeding every month from birth control if i am pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Withdrawal bleeding comes when the uterine lining that would support a pregnancy liquefies & sheds. When you are pregnant the placental/embryonic mass begins to create a hormone that prevents any breakdown of that lining.
