Is It Possible...
Posted: 11-07-03 20:23pm

Is it possible to get your period and still be pregnant? Here's the thing, I am on the pill, but I am not 100% consistent with the times I take it. I had unprotected sex on the 13th of oct. And still got my period at the end of the month. Now, almost 2 weeks after the end of my last period I am bleeding again. And maybe I am just getting worried about nothing but I am always tired and dizzy. Am I freaking out for nothing? Confused

Ok-here's the deal: u can still b pregnant & have periods-some women have gone on 4 9months & didnt even know they were expecting! The pill is not somehting 2 b messed around with-its there 4 ur protection and if u dont use it right, it wont work 4 u.My doc told me 2 take it at eactly the same time every day and approx 6hrs before sex.
However,it depends what pill ur on too.People on the mini pill (like myself) never or rarely bleed.If ur new to the pill,ur body has to adjust to it-this may be what this bleedings about.If ur really worried,do a pregnancy test.If u r pregnant,u need 2 deal with that in whatever way.If ur no,please sort urself out on the pill!
Pm me if u need help

Hey girl,
it sounds to me like you're experiencing breakthrough bleeding. That happens when you don't take your pill regularly ( at the same time and everyday). I had it happen to me one month, 10 days before my period was expected to start and I thought I was dying!
