Pregnant women dont have periods. A small amount get pregnancy bleeding, which very rarely can be mistaken for a period, but its not the same thing. The pill can affect the length and flow of your period, it can also stop your periods entirely (I have only been on the pill for two months and no longer have periods yay!) You could take a test, if you were pregnant it would show up by now.

I was very inconsistent with taking my pills when I was younger - plus they couldn't agree which one to give me. I continued to have my periods and then one day the just stopped. When I went to the doctor - I found out I was 3 1/2 months pregnant. So, yes - you can still be pregnant and have your period. With my second child - I was on my period till I was about 4 months along!!!

When you have a period you shed the lining fo the womb, if you do this while pregnant you would miscarry the baby as that is where the embryo implants. Pregnancy bleeding is not a period, and no pregnant woman should be advised that bleeding during pregnancy is normal or safe unless their dr says so.
