see, I thought taking the pill while pregnant caused a problem too but not according to one of the recent 'doctor answers' in the preg forum.

could it be harmful? Here are opinions and input:


if you accidentally took some birth control and then found out you are pregnant, the baby should be fine. However, see your doctor to make sure you are taking the right steps.

Studies have shown that taking birth control pills while pregnant results in an increased risk of birth defects.

The writing on the package states "discontinue use if you become pregnant." if you know that you're pregnant stop taking the pills. (they wouldn't do you much good anyway!)

there is no proof that the birth control pill will harm your baby. If you are sure you are pregnant, stop taking the pill and see your doctor. Don't be overly alarmed if this happens. It's happened to others like yourself and the babies turn out perfectly healthy.

From what I have read yes it can. Look on any warning labels or the fact sheet sometimes given with the prescription. You should get to your doctor immediately for a test and discuss with him also.

missed periods

missing a period does not always mean that you are pregnant. If you do miss a period, think about how likely a pregnancy is. Also consider the risks related to continuing birth control pills. Pregnancy is more likely:

in the first few months of pill use
if you missed taking any pills
if you are taking another medication (especially antibiotics)
if you have been sick (vomiting and/or diarrhea)
if you forgot one or more pills and do not have a period that month, we recommend that you have a sensitive pregnancy test done at a clinic.

If you miss two periods in a row, it could either be normal or a sign of pregnancy. Pregnancy tests are recommended right away. If you become pregnant while on the pill, there is probably no risk of birth defects.

Extremely EHEALTHy
Taking birth control during pregnancy doesn't cause birth defects that i'm aware of. And "old blood" during pregnancy isn't uncommon as I believe someone else said you shouldn't have old blood during pregnancy. My aunt bled throughout her whole pregnancy and it was a dark brown. The doctors told her not to worry because it was old blood. Her baby will be two in a couple of months.
