I've got some questions for anyone who can
help. My boyfriend doesnt use a comdom
when we're having sex but i'm on the pill.
Can I still get pregnant if the pill is
our only means of protection? Can I get
pregnant during the week of my period?

Hi honey,
yes it is possible to become pregnant on
the pill. The birth control pill is only
97.9% - 99.9% effective, which leaves some
women open to fall into that few percent
that have the pill fail them. As for
becoming pregnant while having your
period, I have heard it is possible but
very unlikely. You are more likely to
become pregnant approximately 14 days
before your next period is due, and I
repeat "approximately", this is when most
women ovulate. As long as you take your
birth control pill at the same time every
day and don't ever forget to take them,
you shouldn't have too many problems.
Good luck...
Suzy

Can I Be Pregnant? Posted: 09-04-06 23:07pm
Thanks for the responses. Well I should
get my period on 9/11 if I am not pregnant
and I am still taking birth control pill
but something weird happened today. A lil
bit of spotting and some brownish
discharge? Is that a sign that I could be
pregnant? My breasts are a bit tender.
Again the first day of my lmp was 8/13,
started the pill on 8/22 and had sex on
8/26 and 8/27. You think I can do a hpt
tommorow?
