Can you be pregnant and still have withdrawal bleed from pill?

While this bleeding isn’t the same as a natural period, it can be a helpful way to keep track of your reproductive health. You’re still protected from pregnancy while you’re having withdrawal bleeding as long as you’ve taken your birth control as directed.

Does withdrawal prevent pregnancy?

Pulling out isn’t a very reliable way to prevent pregnancy. It works about 78\% of the time, which means that over a year of using this method, 22 out of 100 women — about 1 in 5 — would get pregnant. By comparison, male condoms are 98\% effective when used correctly every time.

When does the withdrawal bleed start?

When does withdrawal bleeding occur? Withdrawal bleeding should occur about three days after you stop taking birth control (i.e. after you miss three pills). While it may take a few days to show up, you should consult a doctor if you do not experience a bleed within three weeks of when it is expected.

What are the chances of getting pregnant while on birth control and on your period?

No. If you’re taking birth control correctly and consistently, then you’re protected against pregnancy all the time, including the days you take your placebo pills (period week). You can still have sex during this week without getting pregnant.

Does withdrawal bleeding have clots?

If you are taking several packs back-to-back, followed by a pill break, this may cause your withdrawal bleed to be heavier, with more clots, than usual – or it may have the opposite effect.

Does period on birth control mean not pregnant?

Do I get a “real” period on the contraceptive pill? Nope. The bleeding you get when you’re on the pill is not the same as a menstrual period. Your period on the pill is technically called withdrawal bleeding, referring to the withdrawal of hormones in your pill, and in your body.

How long do withdrawal periods last?

The duration of withdrawal bleeding varies from person to person. However, if a person is taking the medication as directed, the bleeding should only last for a few days. If withdrawal bleeding does not occur within 3 weeks of when it is expected, it may be a good idea to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor.
