bleeding on birthcontrol

if you are pregnant on birth control will you still bleed during inactive pills or will you miss your period like a woman who is not taking birth control pills

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
Usually birth control pills are taken on the first day of the periods or a Sunday start.  For Sunday start, you should start the oral contraceptive on the first Sunday after your periods. Then take it continuously for 21 days and no pills or dummy pills for 7 days during which the bleeding occurs.

I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
