It isn't likely. You are still protected while taking your sugar pills.

what if i dont take the sugar pills?

that wouldnt matter thou would it? since they have no medicine in them right?

...what is the sugar pill? is it birth control...

if that is the case, you would have had no form of bc and could become pregnant.
...are you wanting to be pregnant?

the sugar pills are the pills you take the week of your period. they have no hormone in them.

im only 20. i dont want to be pregnant..noooo way.

Could you explain why they are taken during your period?
Sorry i have never used sugar pills nor do i know what they do.

And I would suggest getting on birth control AND using condoms to avoid pregnancy

Sugar pills are your placebo week. Its the week you're supposed to have your period. There isn't any hormones in those pills so you have your period.

As long as you have been taking your pills correctly up to the placebo week(you haven't missed any pills) then you were protected when you had sex. I rarely take my pills during my placebo week, they are only there to help keep your schedule.

i am on birth control pills called yasmin. there are 4 weeks of pills in the pack. 3 weeks are the pills that contain the birth control medicine. the last week, the fourth week is the sugar pills. these pills have no hormone in them. you expect your period during the sugar pill week.

i was at the end of my period when this whole thing happened with my boyfriend.

I thought you were on birth control before you got pregnant. How can you not know how it works?

Fantastic job of explaining it, Maddie and Lauren.

Lauren: you are protected. You are not at risk of pregnancy if you have been taking your pills correctly.

ingi i said the sugar pill. i have not used placebo pills.

they are the same thing, lol.

Sugar pills are placebo pills. They are taken for the week of your period. Usually you have your period around about the 3-4th sugar/placebo pill.

i know their the same thing.
i was just wanting a clarification [which ingi gave] as to what they are.
I never knew what they were used for..i honestly thought they were just some sugar thing..

Weren't you on birth control at one point?

yes but i did not know that they were called placebo when you take the ones when your period starts.
they did not explain the pills. just gave me a pack. i didnt have a family doctor at that point. just went to a clinic and got them.

You should research your birth control options for after the baby is born, Krystine. You'll need to start after your 6 week check up.

The placebo week is the reason WHY you get your period.

The period on BC pills is not a REAL period, it is simply bleeding that happens when you stop using hormones for the week.

Do i need to get back on it?
What if i choose not to go back on my birth control?
Is it manditory to go back on it? Im not sure about this..

Then wouldn't it be kind of hard for you to give advice about birth control if you don't know anything about it?

...Did you not read my responses, i was asking what it was.
So clearly i was trying to get more informed about it
