Are the sugar pills when you take when you have your period? Im not good with pills, but you can get pregnant during ovulation about 14 days after your period. You should ask your doc the chances, or the nurse if you call in.

As long as you take the other weeks of pills everyday on time, then you are safe for the week you take your placebos. You should not have to use a backup method while you are taking the placebos either.

As for not getting pregnant after your period, that is false. Women ovulate at different times of the month, and ovulation with sperm is all it takes to get pregnant. It is even possible to get pregnant while you have your period-it is not likely, but it could still happen.

Always take your pills at the same time everyday and never skip one single day. As long you follow the directions to the letter, the pill is 99% effective.

All these pills confuse me! Im glad I have the patch! I slap that bad boy on my thigh, and im good for the week! Hahaha no color pills or remembering.

Well, I took all of my regular colored pills on time and I never missed one. I got my period on saturday, and my last day was wednesday. I should start my new pack of pills tomorrow (friday). I had sex with my husband last night and I totally didnt think of using another method of contraception. Do I have to worry? I am on the pill, but I was on the white pills? My question still seems to haunt me...Could I have gotten pregnant even though I am on the pill (but on the sugar pills)?
