Getting pregnant on the pill question........

Something I dont understand at all. I am on the pill, however, I know there is always a chance of getting pregnant as they arent exactly 100% protective.

However, if I was to get pregnant while on the "pill", I would not know until a month later when I would notice if I skipped a period. However, after taking an entire month of BC pills.....how harmful is that to the baby????

It makes me petrified........

Re: Getting pregnant on the pill question........

I got PG on the pill...took every single one that month. Technically you are really only continuing to take the pill for 2 weeks after conception, then your period is late, you test and you get your BFP and you go "oh sh!t!! how did that happen!?" At that point you are 5 weeks pg because they count from the date of your LMP, but you only conceived 2 - 3 weeks prior - not a full month of taking BCP.

ANYWAY, bottom line is that many women have gotten pg on the pill and the babies are fine. It's not a big deal as long as you (obviously) stop taking the pills as soon as you find out you are pg.
