If you have a light period, can you still
be pregnant?
Also...
Is the pill 97-99% effective alone a s a
contraceptive or with something else?

What does a light period mean? Does it
mean automatic pregnancy?

A light period doesn't automatically mean
that you're pregnant. If you haven't been
using condoms while on birth control, then
that along with your light period can
indicate pregnancy. How long have you
been on birth control? I would suggest
taking a home pregnancy test to see. If
you haven't been on birth control very
long then that might be what's causing it.
Hope that helps.

We use condoms all the time and I have
been on birth control for over a year.
This was just a one time deal where he
came on my back. I didn't move and he
said nothing got near me but we used
lotion to make him slide kinda on my butt
a little smoother. I know that might be
gross but it was just that. I didn't
know if any got in the lotion or if it
could ever survive. He wiped me all up
and I didn't feel anything get in there
but tha towuld be the only reason that I
am worrying. I have a few of the tests,
I will take one if my period is late.
Do you think though, that what we did is a
cause for major concern?

After being on several different types of
pills and minipills, I still got pregnant
with my first child and had light periods
right up until I delivered, which
according to my doctor, is quite normal.

I don't at at all think you're pregnant.
If you're period's late then take a test.
Other than that, I wouldn't worry. You
can't get pregnant from ejaculation on
your back.

Thanks guys, I am just really scared and
can't have a child right now. I know I
am on birth control and everything
but...Yeah. I haven't taken a test yet,
but I have been spotting in red and brown
for over a week and my period isn't even
due until tomorrow. Anything about that?
Thank you, I really appreicate your
answers.
