If you stop taking your birth control pill then start bleeding can you still get pregnant?
The bleeding is the withdrawal bleed and is normal. This occurs when you stop taking birth control for over a few days. You can become pregnant.
When is the withdrawal bleeding after 2 packs of contraceptive pill taken without pill free?
After taking six weeks of active birth control pills without the pill-free week, you can expect withdrawal bleeding when you take a pill-free week. You may also have unpredictable bleeding.
If you get pregnant while on birth control pills will you still show the withdrawal bleeding while on the placebos and would pregnancy symptoms still occur on the pill?
Yes you will still have a period but it may be later and old blood. Yes pregnancy symptoms would still occur.
When is menstrual cycle when on the pill?
Withdrawal bleeding when using the pill will start between the second and sixth placebo pill.
Why does missing birth control pills cause bleeding?
When taking birth control pills the bleeding you get each month is withdrawal bleeding and not a "regular" period that comes on its own. So when you miss a few pills the withdrawal from them starts up the bleeding. The steady hormones in the pill keep the uterine lining thin. When you skip the pill for a few days, the pill hormone levels go way down (it takes the body about 24 hrs to eliminate the hormones in one pill). This withdrawal of pill hormones destabilizes the uterine lining and you get spotting/bleeding [thus, the name: withdrawal bleeding].
Can you still be pregnant while having withdrawal bleeding from the pill?
If you have had sex and are female and don't know of any very good reason why it's literally impossible for you to be pregnant (such as, say, having had a hysterectomy), then yes, you could be pregnant. Pregancy tests are cheap and reliable. Take one. Then you'll know.
Can the bleeding after missing a birth control pill be seen as menstrual?
When you're taking the birth control pill, you don't have a menstrual period. Instead, you have withdrawal bleeding. Menstrual periods are vaginal bleeding the follows ovulation by 14 days. Withdrawal bleeding is vaginal bleeding brought on by sudden cessation of hormone ingestion. Whether you have unscheduled bleeding from missing a pill or scheduled bleeding during your placebo week, neither is called a menstrual period.
If you are taking the pill is it possible to be pregnant but still bleed on your break?
Sorry, but my English isn't that good. Let's give it a try. = If you are taking the pill is it possible to be pregnant but still bleed on your break? = In rare cases: yes. Bleeding while taking the pill does't have to mean anything. Bleeding can fail to appear, although you're not pregnant. There may be a withdrawal bleeding, although you are pregnant. A regular bleeding, as you are used to from former pill cycles may be a hint, that you're not pregnant, but it is no proof or guarantee. Because of the decrease of the hormone in the break, there are more or less strong bleedings. But that doesn't have to mean, that there isn't an embryo already sitting in your womb, which has turned on it's own hormone production. That little amount of lost blood would then be insignificant to the embryo. Therefore it's possible, that such pregnancies are not detected until the 3rd or 4th month, because the woman had her regular bleedings caused by the hormones of the pill. Such things happen rarely, but they happen. Bleeding while taking the pill is something artificially created. It is a hint, that you're not pregnant, but you can't be 100% sure. Hope this was understandable.

Can you be pregnant but still have your period if you're on birth control?
If a woman has a period, it is unlikely that she is pregnant; however, birth control is not 100% effective. The bleeding you have while on birth control is not actually a period; it is withdrawal bleeding, a reaction to lower hormones in the days you use a placebo pill. If you're having a typical withdrawal bleed, chances are low that you are pregnant. If you're pregnant, you will not have a normal withdrawal bleed. However you may experience brown vaginal bleeding or no bleeding at all. Even without the birth control pill, some pregnant women have bleeding (similar, but not equal, to a period) in the first month. This spotting is common, and doesn't mean that something is wrong with the pregnancy. But if you're having bleeding or spotting with a positive pregnancy test, contact your health care provider today. If you're having pain, bleeding, and a positive pregnancy test, go to the emergency room. Pregnancy with bleeding while on birth control is possible. First, birth control pills are not 100% effective and it is possible to become pregnant while on them. Second, bleeding during pregnancy is possible, but usually signals a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
I was on the pill had to stop i switched to nuvaring this is my 1st week of having it out placebo pills usually got period on Thursday its Friday still nothin no sex since before last period?
If you have not had sex you know you are not pregnant, it is possible the hormones in NuvaRing are enough to prevent the withdrawal bleeding you had while on BCP. One possible side effect of the NuvaRing is for bleeding to stop completely. You should replace the device on the day it is due, if you have withdrawal bleeding or not. (more information at link)
