I'm suppose to start my birth control the Sunday after my next period. There is a chance that I might be pregnant. I was told that you could still have your period while you were pregnant. Is that true? And if that is, then hcg wouldn't be recognized by pregnancy tests since that would stop the periods. Should I wait to take the birth control until I have confirmed that I either am pregnant or I'm not, or just start it and hope that I am not? I have had a few symptoms of being pregnant, but they could also be from other factors as well. Any thoughts?

If you think you're pregnant, then you no longer require birth control....it's too late! Seriously, test yourself to see about pregnancy and call your ob/gyn for professional advice.

it is very possible to be still have your period even when you are pregnant. YES, medical profeesional confirmed that Some women do menstruate during the early part of pregnancy. Other women spot during pregnancy. There are many reasons for spotting and bleeding during pregnancy, some serious, some not. If you suspect you are pregnant, yet have menstrual-like bleeding, contact your care provider to rule out a serious complication
If you think you are pregnant and you have seen the symptoms of pregnancy in you, then, any of these might be true:
1. Regular Menstrual Cycle: - Some women do experience a regular menstrual cycle, even though they are actually pregnant. This usually occurs when a women becomes pregnant close to the start of her next period. It can cause a great deal of confusion regarding due dates and gestational ages since due dates are usually calculated based on the date of the last menstrual period.
Ectopic Pregnancy: - An ectopic pregnancy is a very serious condition and can cause bleeding similar to a menstrual flow. This occurs when a fertilized egg implants into an organ other than the uterus, usually the fallopian tubes. Because there is not enough room for the growing embryo, organ damage or death can occur. If you have cramping combined with bleeding in an early pregnancy, it is extremely important you contact your medical doctor.

You should stop taking the control till you actually find out your pregnant. Im 7 1/2 months pregnant and i had my period the first two months and didnt show any signs of being pregnant nor did i knew till i was about 4 months, luckily my baby is healthy. Then make a decision if you are ot not. Good Luck

Most pregnancy tests wont show up after two weeks but if her feeling sick and moody is different from the norm I would wait at least 1 month to 1 month and a half to take one again. Plus when women stop birth control they have a chemical in balance so it could be the change from her stopping after taking it for awhile

First, if you have any concern, talk to your GYN. He/she can tell you the risks of possible pregnancy and starting birthcontrol. The "day after pill" people talk about is basically 3 pills of birth control, so starting birth control pills now, if you are in fact pregnant, can cause complications. If you are experiencing signs of pregnancy, I would suggest waiting until you know for sure. Best of luck!

DO NOT take your birth control if you suspect you're pregnant. This would be VERY bad/unhealthy for the baby.
It is possible to have periods while pregnant. My mom had them with me for the first 3 months of her pregnancy.
Take a pregnancy test. ASAP.

If there is a real chance, then get a pregnancy test before starting the next pack.

I would call your OB/GYN or the doctor that prescribed the birth control because you shouldn't take birth control while you're pregnant.

call your doc and they will schedule and exam and blood test. You shouldn't start the pills if you are pregnant they could cause serious birth defects to the baby.Good Luck.
