on the pill.. pregnant?
How possible is it to get pregnant on the pill... I am on ortho tri-cyclen lo, and I was at my last two pills of the month and started spotting... which of course is annoying
Now, I have had a VERY light period. It started and ended, I started spotting last weekend and I started my actual period a day later than usual and it last 3 days and was lighter than ever before.
Also, my last period was very light. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? I have been having sex while on the pill... how likely? And should I worry?
Answers:
This could be a sign of pregnancy. If you haven't been taking the pill around the same time every day or have been missing some pills here or there than you could most definitely be pregnant. Go out and get a pregnancy test.

I dont want to scare you but I got pregnant on Othro TryCyclen Lo. I did not discover I was pregnant until I was 22 WEEKS b/c I had NO SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS I had my period the whole time. Up until then I skipped one period thinking it was the beginning of a possible pregnancy, went to the Dr for a pregnancy test. It was positive. A week later went in for an ultra sound I was 22 weeks. (THIS IS NOT TYPICAL, I'M ASSUMING so dont freak out )
My mom thinks I continued to have my period b/c I continued to take the birth control while I was pregnant and possibly bc it was a low dosage.
My best advice get a pregnancy test done at the drug store ASAP, if you dont trust it or just incase get a second opinion at a Dr's office like an urgent care (like I did).

Also, don't worry too much. The pill makes most women have very light periods at least that was the case with me. But take a pregnancy test if you are unsure.
Answers:
If you are having a period (albeit light) at the time you're supposed to have your period, then you probably have nothing to worry about, especially if you took your pills perfectly and did not have anything interfere with them. If you're really that worried, take a pregnancy test and ease your mind.
It is not unusual for women who are taking hormone pills for birth control to have very light periods or no bleeding at all.
If you have not missed any pills, skip 1 period, yet have no other signs of early pregnancy, it is very unlikely that you are pregnant. Signs of early pregnancy include fatigue, breast tenderness or enlargement, nausea or vomiting, and increased urination.
