As long as you are taking your birth control pills correctly & consistently, the chances of pregnancy are very low.
The birth control pill pack is set up so that you take 21 days of hormone (estrogen & progestin) pills, followed by 7 days of hormone free pills (also called placebo pills, inactive pills, “fake” pills). During the hormone free pill week, you should have your period. Any bleeding or spotting during that week would be considered a period. Bleeding may begin at any time during that week, depending on the individual woman. Some women begin on the first day of the inactive pills, other woman may not begin until the 3rd or 4th day of the inactive pills. Bleeding during this week also reassures you that pregnancy has not occurred.
Begin your next pack on time and continue to take your pills every day.
