Question
I was on birth control for about six months then I had a period for about a month. Well i had sex a few times when I thought I was done bleeding and then I'd start again. Well the docotor put me on a new birth control. I am just curious the likely hood of getting pregnant in that period
of time.
Thanks
Hi Melissa,
Theres always a small risk, but since you were expierincing bleeding during that time its probably small. If you don't get your period this month, follow it up with a pregnancy test. I think you will probably be fine, but the test will ease your mind.
Good luck and Thanks,
Drea Jean
