Oh my lord people. If you have your period, you can still be pregnant. Many women bleed when pregnant.
On to your problem.
Certain birth control pills may also be prescribed for use as emergency contraception. Some ECPs are "combination pills" with estrogen and progestin — synthetic hormones like the ones a woman's body makes. Others, such as Plan B, are progestin-only.
******NOTE: ECPs reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75-89 percent when the first dose is taken within 72 hours.*****
After You Take the Pills
-Your next period may be earlier or later than usual.
-Your flow may be heavier, lighter, more spotty, or the same as usual.
-If you see other health care providers before you get your period, remember to tell them that you have taken emergency contraception pills.
-Schedule a follow-up visit with your clinician if you do not have your period in three weeks or if you have symptoms of pregnancy.
-Be sure to use another method of contraception if you have vaginal intercourse any time before you get your period again.
-Continue using the birth control method of your choice for as long as you want to avoid pregnancy.
How Well Emergency Contraception Works
-Combined ECPs reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75 percent if started within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. For example, eight out of 100 women will become pregnant after having unprotected sex once during the second or third week of their cycles. But only two out of 100 will become pregnant after taking ECPs.
-Progestin-only ECPs reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89 percent if started within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Only one woman out of 100 will become pregnant after taking progestin-only ECPs.
-Emergency contraception is meant for emergencies only. ECPs are not as effective as the correct and consistent use of reversible contraception — the IUD, the shot, the pill, the patch, or the ring.
-ECPs do not continue to prevent pregnancy during the rest of the cycle. Other methods of birth control must be used.
-Emergency contraception offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections. You may want to consider testing for sexually transmitted infections if there is a possibility that unprotected sex put you at risk.
Consult your physician to be on the safe side.
And to answer your question... yes you could, but its a slight chance.
hope this helps hon

You should use protection during sex. It will protect you from diseases, which are worse than pregnancy in long term effects. Pregnancy is curable. Some diseases are not. I am sure you have heard of HIV. There are other diseases out there that can cause infections and leave you infertile. Go to your nearest family planning center. They often give birth control free to minors. Take control of your life and your body. The decisions that you make today may last a lifetime. You are important and your future is important. Your child deserves to be wanted. Have a family when it is right for you!

Why are you using the sex pill as a form of birth control?...There is always a chance you can be pregnant. and getting your period doens't always mean you aren't pregnant......In 1987....I bled for 3 weeks...I went to my doctor....he told me I was pregnant...I said..thats impossible....I've had my period....and I had my period each month after that too. My baby boy was born 8 months later. There is birth control out there...you need to be smart enough to use it.

Go to the drug store, buy a pregnancy test, take it. Don't waste your time asking other people if you're pregnant there's no way anyone can actually know the answer. If fear or embarrassment stop you from buying the test then you are too immature to be having sex.

The correct answer is No...the fact that you had your period means you are not pregnant. So relax. And stop hitting the caps lock button.

If blood didn't come out on your period, you could be pregnant.
