Can you have your period if you are on the pill and pregnant?

In: Periods while Pregnant, Birth Control Pill, Birth Control Patch [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

If you are pregnant, you should immediately stop taking the pill. Studies have shown that continuing to take the pill during pregnancy can result in birth complications, sometimes as severe as a miscarriage. If you are pregnant, it is entirely possible, and not unlikely to continue your period. Some women have their period up until the day they give birth.

If you are concerned, please contact a medical authority immediately.
