Can you get pregnant while on your period

my boyfriend and i are sexualy active, and have been for a long time. we have sex while im on my period if the flow isnt heavy. im on birth controll but stopped taking it saturday night so i could get my period this week. it came monday night, tueday night my boyfriend came over, and we ended up having sex because my flow wasnt heavy at all. once everything was done, he pulled out and we both reliezed that the condom had broke. i was really worried so i ran upstairs and took an extra pill that i found from a package of pills from a long time ago. i put in a tampon to see if i could get anything else and cleaned up the best i could. but im worried.. could i be pregnant? im not worried about my boyfriend leaving me, we've been though this scare before.. and he stuck by me and supported me, but we're both to young to have a baby.

I am on birth control. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he came in me about 10 days ago. The same day I was about an hour or 2 late on taking my pill. I stopped the pill yesterday to try and get my period because I am worried I can be pregnant from not taking the pill on time. What do you think?

When having sex, is it the pill the day before or the one right after that counts the most?

who ever is saying you can't get pregnant on your period is not right....it is less likely but it can still happen....now the fact that you are taking birth control safe guards you...and you probably will not be pregnant....but crazier things have happened. Your best bet would be to stop having sex.....because there is always that small chance that you can get pregnant....and the even larger one that you can catch an std.......Like hpv which spreads even with a condom. And Herpes also. If someone is to young to have children they really should not be having sex....and even though it is hard for anyone to deal with std's......at 15 or 16 it is even harder....don't scar yourself by behaving recklessly. I know using protection and birth control is very smart, a lot of people don't...but there is always that small chance.....be careful.

not takeing pills nad letting a guy *** inside you does not mean your pregnant.
