You know the week of pills that lets you have your period. Do you need another method of protection to prevent pregancy during this week? Talking about regular birth control here, one pill a day in four week doses.

No. This is the week when you're typically going to have your period. The pill works by tricking your body into believing its pregnant. That off week is not enough time for the body to prepare and release an egg for fertilization.
Just remember, that even under the BEST circumstances, NO method of contraception is 100% effective.

no, if you have been taking the pill correctly and have not taken any antibiotics- which can counter act the pill- many pills actually protect against pregancy during this week by placing extra mucus within the membrain being created, this casues the membrain to be too thick for the egg to attach to the lining of the uterus- thus the egg is released through the body.

not likely. yet achieveable. you will not get a extra maximum appropriate answer than that. And NO, it fairly is not 50-50. it fairly is like asserting if this got here approximately two times, you may actually get pregnant, which... in basic terms isn't genuine. There are a million factors that be sure no rely in case you may get pregnant. except a sperm made it out of the condom and swam on your egg, there's a nil% probability you will get pregnant. even though if some did make it to the egg, the prospect continues to be especially low. it fairly is *achieveable* you will get pregnant, yet particularly not likely.

If you have been using the pill correctly, no you can't get pregnant during the "period week" on the pill.
I have been on the pill for 14 years and I have never gotten pregnant during the "period week".

If using the pill correctly, you should not get pregnant during this time as the egg is being released and flushed out of your system.
Nothing is 100% though

You can get pregnant at anytime on or off the pill, even during your period. The pill is not 100% proof and taking antibiotics or other medications can minimize its effectiveness. Use protection!

The oral contraceptive prevents ovulation, so you shouldn't be able to get pregnant. But the pill is only 99.9% effective, so there is a chance that it could fail and you could get pregnant. But it's a slim one.
