I have been on Birth control pills for several years now. But for the last month I havent been taking them. I had sex on Oct5th. We did use a condom but it broke and there was a big mess. On Monday I started my
Period which was unexpected. I am not due to start for at least 2 more weeks. The flo was heavy now it has lightened up. I have heard that you cant be pregnant and have a period but sense it hasnt been to long sense I have had sex could I be? Anyone with any Advice please help.

No one has any more information about your body than you have. It sounds as if you started your period and would not be pregnant. However, since you are concerned that pregnancy might be a factor, take a pregnancy test in TWO WEEKS. It takes two weeks for enough hormones to build up in your system. Use your first morning urine.

It would be fine to continue with your birth control pills until you test. There would be no harm.
