Answer
Why not?  You'd be a little over 10 weeks pregnant now (We measure from 2 weeks before you got pregnant).  Do a test to be sure.  It's one reason to always start the pill during or just after a period, so you know you're not pregnant.  If you are pregnant, the bleeding was a sign of threatened miscarriage, but since it stopped everything may be normal now.  Taking the pill when you're early pregnant isn't recommended, but it probably doesn't do any harm.  Get a test soon.  Maybe you're not pregnant at all.
