Can I get pregnant while on the sugar pills of my birth control?

Asked by fau about 1 year ago, 5 answers.

A birth control pack has 4 weeks, on the 4th week you start your period, these pills are called "sugar pills" and "reminder pills". I don't start my period until the 3rd day of this week, so therefor I could have s*x the first 2 days of that week if I...

wanted to. I don't use condoms and haven't gotten pregnant yet, if I have s*x during this week without a condom will I get pregnant? What are the differences in the 3 weeks of pills and the 4th week of pills, sure you start your period, but can you get pregnant also?

Well the pink pills have hormones and so on that work at preventing ovulation and hence pregnancy. The green one's are idle. I think it is very unlikely that you will get pregnant during that last week if you do not use a backup method. . If you read the little paper that comes with every box of birthcontrol it clearly states that during the last week of the pills you do not need to use a backup method. Unfortunately I do not know how this would work scientifically but I think you should be ok. It is advised that you use back up such as a condom or foam if you miss one of the pink pills but it should be ok during the last week.

Billie is right. You are protected even during your sugar pill week.

I dont know if the is the question you wanted me to answer. But to tell you the truth I have no clue if you can get pregnant or not. I was on the patch and I got pregnant. I am sorry I don't have much advice on the pill.
