Birth Control/being pregnant and bith control

Expert: Ramona Quilter - 4/17/2007


Question
upon falling pregnant say the first few 3 weeks is it possible to miscarry after taking the last seven tablets of the birth control at the same time or just being on the pill at all

Answer
The last week of pills are not active ingredients so they would do no damage to a baby.  Getting pregnant while on the pill isn't the best thing to happen to a newly conceived child but considering the alternative it isn't terrible.  As soon as you know you are pregnant you should always stop using anything that might harm the child.  As I'm sure you would.

Expertise

Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.

Experience

I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
