Well, when taken properly, the pill is 99% effective against pregnancy. This means you do not ovulate while on the pill. You should be fine.

Once you have statred using it the efficacy of the pill is not affected by which stage of your menstrual cycle you are, the chance of you becoming pregnant has nothing to do with whether you had sex while you were bleeding or not. put simply, if you fall pregnant whilst on the pill, and after doing it during your flow, it is not because you were bleeding that you fell pregnant but it is because of other factors to do the the pill's overal effectiveness. it has been clinically proven that under perfect conditions 0.3 to 1.25 out of every 100 women using the pill will fall pregnant. where the pill's use is not always consistent/correct 2.15 to 8.0 out of every 100 women will fall pregant. all this has nothing to do with what stage of the menstrual cycle one is.

Well no, the chance is very low that you will but there is still that chance. I really hope by period week that you didn't already have your period, because that is a little wrong, but, like I said the chance is very low, talk to your doctor if your really worried, ALSO if you didn't have your period yet and it doesn't come then be worried and get a pregnancy test.

the period pills are inactive so it is possible but if u take the pills right the rest of the pack u should be okay but u should get a test just in case

If you have been taking your birth control pills regularly and not skipping any you can have unprotected sex on your inactive pills without fear of becoming pregnant.

Yes, you can still get pregnant.
If you are stressed out or change your eating habits etc. then you can ovulate early while you are on your period not taking the pill.
Better to be safe than sorry : )

You should be fine. Since you have been on birth control for almost a year then it should be in your system. I would not worry about a thing.

No you won't get pregnant, you have been on the pill long enough it is in your system. you would have to off the pill for a while before you would have to worry about that.

The only way to be sure you don't get pregnant is by not having $ex. Don't they teach that in school anymore, or did you think it was just a lie so you'd keep your clothes on?

when taken properly the pill is highly effective however there is always that 1% chance you could get pregnant
