Question
hello, please help me out.
Well I had a holiday with my bf for 1 week so I wanted to stop my period, so I started taking pills and stopped right when I got back. I am not on the pill, just took them while away. When I stopped taking them I got my period, but is it still possible I can be pregnant?

Answer
Linn,

Probably not, it would depend on where in your cycle you started the pills. If it was just prior to ovulation, the plls may not have stopped it, but the subsequent period would make implantation unlikely. I think that you are about 90 - 95% safe.
