So I am on the active pill of my birthcontrol and I have my period or I could be spotting, does spotting count as a period? And also if I had sex while spotting is it likely to get pregnant? And is it weird for me to be getting me period when I am on the active pills,even though I think it is because I skipped my last period?

This post is a little confusing to me, but that's probably just from sleep deprivation due to being up with a teething/gassy baby all night. So I will try to answer to the best of my groggy abilities.:0) There are a lot of other questions here. How long have you been on the pill, do you take it regularly and on the right time table(have you skipped any, or been late taking them. Breath through bleeding/irregular periods are common when your schedule gets messed up), how old are you, etc. Since you did miss your period last month, and are having slight spotting, it might be wise to take a pregnancy test right now. Any time you have sex (protected or not) you run the risk of getting pregnant. Birth control significantly lowers those risks, but its still a possibility. I would suggest that you take a hpt now, just to be sure. Then, if its negative, but you still have concerns, speak with your doctor. Good luck
