OK, I know that the periods you get on the pill aren't 'true' periods. It says that in the leaflet. So if you were pregnant, would those periods stop, or keep going? If so, how would you know you were pregnant? I don't think I am btw, just asking.

Oh yeah, I was also meaning to ask - would a shop-bought pregnancy test still work if you were on the pill?
yup.
you would probably stop having periods, although being on the pill increases the chance of bleeding regularly while pregnant slightly.
you'd probably also start getting other pregnancy signs - needing to pee lots, feeling sick, tender boobs.
and taking the pill while pregnant will not harm your baby. although obviously if you find out you're definitely pregnant you should stop taking it.
