    Can I be pregnant on the pill?

    Me and my bf had sex a week or so ago and a bit of his ejaculatory fluid went inside of me. I'm 18 and i've been on the pill for about 3 and a half months, about three days ago I started to bleed. It's darker(brown with a tiny bit of dark red) than usual its constantly there. I think I'm pregnant but I'm not sure, can anyone help?

    That's called "spotting," something we all get every now and then. Nothing to worry about. Even if you were pregnant, 3 days is not long enough for symptoms to appear.

    Birth control pill babies have happened, but it's really rare.

      It's rare to get pregnant on the pill if used as directed.

      If you want to ease your mind, you can always take a pregnancy test, but you have to wait till your 'expected period' comes so that it can be accurate. Typically it's best to wait a week if Aunt Flow doesn't show up. I've heard that some people bleed even though they are preg on the pill, so for $15 or cheaper your sanity can be saved. For more sensitive tests you can take it the day of your period if you want, but most likely should retest the next week anyways to be sure.

      Good luck to you!
