I got my period a week after I started my new pack of birth control am I pregnant?

Ive been on the pill for a year now. January 12th I started my new pack of birth control pills after finishing my period .It was a lite period that lasted maybe 5 days. 10 days after starting my new pack i got my period again. At first it looked like dried up blood/ brownish discharge but as the days past it turned into my period with cramps and everything. It's been 9 days since I got my period an it's not getting lighter. My boyfriend and i had sex several times after my period before it started again. Could I be pregnant????

Hello,
You seem to be having the symptoms of metrorrhagia(heavy periods).Various factors causing it are endometriosis,ectopic pregnancy,hormone imbalance,endometrial hyperplasia,polyps,use of IUD’s and depo shots, sexually transmitted diseases,PCOS and benign and malignant pathologies of the uterus.

I suggest you to get it checked from a gynecologist to confirm the diagnosis.

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.

I didn't miss a pill but I wasn't consistent with the time I would take it.

yes you may be pregnant try to recall weather u missed any pill last month or u had any febrile illness needing antibiotics as this decreases the efficacy of birth control pills. you better go for a pregnancy test at the earliest.
