Question
I was on Lutera for two weeks and spot bleeding the whole time.  Because I started bleeding so much towards the end of my second week I stopped taking it like I would if it would have been my third week.  But after I stopped so did my period 2 days after that.  My boyfriend and I slept together during that time is it likely I could get pregnant?

Answer
Hello,
I emailed you back on Oct. 25 but not sure you received that email so I'm sending it again.
<<Hi Angie,
I will try my best to answer your question but I'm not a medical doctor. Please consult with your physician. I am not totally familiar with Lutera but I am generally informed about the birth control pill. If you didn't take this consistently or correctly, there is a chance that you could be pregnant. Even if you take the pills perfectly correctly, there is a small chance of pregnancy. No birth control method is 100% failure proof. I suggest that you check this website http://www.optionline.org
Find a pregnancy center in your area and call and ask when you could get a free test. Email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.
Thanks.
