Hi - i didn't know whether to post this on the health or sex forum - so i just put it here. But my question is, if your on the pill and by chance you become pregnant - when you next have the 7 day break would you have a period or would you not??? Now i've written that question it seems really dumb - but its quite confusing!

you can not have a period if you are pregnant.
yes you can, ive heard of loads of people whove bled through pregnancy although it wouldnt be a true period it could be mistaken for one

but it could be easily mistaken for a period. all a period is is blood from the womb lining - the same as bleeding in pregnancy, its the same stuff, and you even hear of people who didnt know they were pregnant at all due to still having monthly bleeds all the way through! bleeding in pregnancy is actually very common, although should always be checked out by a doctor as can signal the start of miscarriage. another point, she said she was on the pill, so shes highly unlikely to be pregnant if the pill was taken correctly, but the bleed in between packets is not actually a true period either.
